This brings this year's edition of the festival to a close.

 
   
  Images team  
 

They made it! Images Executive Director Petra Chevrier, Installations Programmer Scott Berry, Artistic Director Chris Gehman, Programmer Chris Kennedy (not shown, Programmer Jane Kim).

  
 
  Gabe Sawhney & Co.'s  
 

Gabe Sawhney & Co.'s Hallway installation was rocking to the crowds (got to get that flash animation going on to really show you how this works!)

  
 
  "Sad Man"  
 

ILaura U. Marks' curated programme of Experimental Media from the Arab World started the day on a challenging and fascinating note. Personal fave was the inventive and revealing animated short "Sad Man" by Lina Ghaibeh (Lebanon). Mohamed Soueid was in attendance preceding his seminar and the screening of his "Nightfall".

  
 
  Guttman  
 

Karen Guttman's "Self Portrait in 5 Vowels" was among the delights on offer at the "At a Loss for Words" programme.

  
 
  "At a Loss for Words"  
 

"At a Loss for Words" contributors Karen Kew (Gold), Jorge Lozano (The End of Thought), Karen Guttman (...Vowels), Larissa Fan (In the Garden).

  
 
  Eric Rutherford

  Jorge Lozano  
 

Film-maker and director of Toronto's Alucine Festival Jorge Lozano.

  
 
  Olson + Rofine  
 

Local artist Daniel Olson (R) peeled back the layers in his video Snow Job, here with friend Wendy Rofine (R).

  
 
  Zeidler  
 

Christina Zeidler's second screening of the festival, "Kill Road" was a huge hit of the "Ticklish Subject" series.

  
 
  Barrow  
 

Daniel Barrow's Toronto return for "The Face of Everything" brought tender wit together with pure magic-lantern delight.

  People Like Us  
 

For the grand finale, Images' catalog mascots make their big screen debut in the archive overdrive mix of Vicki Bennett (aka. People Like Us) from the UK.

  
 
  Elmo Crowd  
 

Post-sceen, the crowd moved en masse to the historic El Mocambo for the Images 2004 Wrap Up Wrap Party.

  
 
  Mike Zryd  
 

Images Board newcomer Mike Zryd fit right in as the evening's MC and prize-master.

  
 
  Christina Zeidler  
 

Among the winners, Toronto's own Christina Zeidler accepts the kudos.

  
 
  Daniel Barrow  
 

Winnipeg's auteur of the overhead, Daniel Barrow joins the fun.

  
 
  Chris Gehman  
 

Outgoing Images Artistic Director takes a bow for a job well done.

  
 
  Ben Mayer  
 

After providing a festival's-worth of high maintenance audio tech support, Ben Mayer takes a well-deserved break.

  
 
  Zryd + Missen  
 

At the party, board-member Mike Zryd gets acquainted with James Missen of Ottawa's Available Light Screening Collective - sponsor of several of the day's programmes.

  
 
  Mackenzie Muldoon  
 

If i'm not mistaken, a picture of Images' Guest Relations Coordinator Mackenzie Muldoon ended last year's diary so she'll end this one too. Thanks for tuning in and we'll see you at next year's festival.
