[ Brief intro to those reading from graphicsplanet.org: My name is Bassam Kurdali, I'm a film-maker/artist using only free software (mainly blender, inkscape, Gimp on Ubuntu/Gnome/Gnu/Linux ) Mostly animated, but sometimes not. I'm also very interested in Creative Commons, and in exploring ways to do media production in a more open and inclusive way. I directed (and did some animation and rigging) Elephants Dream, which some of you have probably seen/heard of. ]
I have some nice news about Elephants Dream: The curators at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC included it in their new exhibit “design and the elastic mind” (warning, flash link ). Great news, and it does look like a really nice exhibit.

That’s great! It must a thrill to see your work continue to live on.
That website makes me want to really learn Flash! That’s a pretty slick way of presenting a large amount of information.

[...] Der Film war an sich ja schon ein sehr großer Erfolg und ein Meilenstein für das Open Movie Projekt “orange” bei Blender. Nun hat man es im “Museum of Modern Art” in New York aufgenommen, was den Wert dieses Werkes noch einmal deutlich unterstreicht. Bassam Kurdali war für einen Teil des Filmes verantwortlich und veröffentlicht natürlich voller Stolz auf seiner Webseite diese guten Nachrichten. Wer jetzt Elephants Dream nicht anfangen kann sollte schleunigst auf den Link klicken und dieses nachholen, dort findet sich auch eine Version in FullHD damit kann man dann auch gleich den neuen Flachbild Fernseher testen.
