The campfire logo used by the Digital Storytelling Festival represents humankind's oldest roots of storytelling, sharing our experiences around a communal hearth. Fire represents life and in the case of the life of the Festival, the flames are the continuing evolution of how our stories are told - how our stories are kept alive.

The 2003 Digital Storytelling Festival will be held in a new location, Sedona Arizona. The magnificent red rock country of Sedona has a rich history of storytelling through the ancient peoples of the southwest who inhabited the areas surrounding Sedona and the nearby areas of Oak Creek Canyon and the Verde Valley. One Native American legend says the red rocks of Sedona are the result of bloodshed of monsters, slain by an ancient hero.

Sedona's incredible landscape has also been an inspiration to artists of many mediums, painting, poetry, photography and filmmaking are just a few of the methods used to capture the natural beauty, and the stories of this magical place.

Join us as we gather in this artistically inspirational and storied place to explore the use of digital media in the art of storytelling. Join fellow creative professionals and storytelling enthusiasts as we showcase the work of the worlds leading practitioners of Digital Storytelling.
