Almost all the films in the HDFEST Los Angeles line-up will be making their HD Festival Premiere, meaning they have never before been presented in High-Definition.

The line-up also includes a sequence of animation created with HD technology. This sequence of HD animation will showcase the accomplishments now possible for filmmakers and animators working even with fairly low budgets.
