Hosted by John Knoll, Visual Effects Supervisor from Industrial Light & Magic, the evening will begin with a behind-the-scenes discussion about the film's design and style with the film's Director, Dave Filoni. The advance screening of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" will follow the discussion on Thursday, 14 August at the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles, California.

"SIGGRAPH is honored to host this special advance screening at the Festival," stated Jill Smolin, SIGGRAPH 2008 Entertainment Director.
