The second annual Robot Film Festival convened this weekend, with fans and even few bots in attendance. Heather Knight, creator of the performing robot Data andMarilyn Monrobot, founded the festival. This year kicked off with a screening of the Sundance Film Festival winner Robot and Frank, which will hit theaters in the United States in August. An afternoon jam packed with short robot films followed, complete with a robot red carpet—featuring International Robotics' Millennia—and the evening’s awards, the Botskers.
The short films, and a few robot commercials, are all posted on the festival's site.
