I had heard that something like this was in the works, but it appears that the E.T. is back for this year (in the form of the Evening Theater):

Expected to be one of the highlights of the Computer Animation Festival, the Evening Theater (ET), will run Monday through Thursday, showcasing a cross section of the “best of” juried and invited films. In order to allow attendees flexibility in their schedule, the times when the juried and the invited best of screenings will alternate each night. The films will be chosen based on the voting of a jury of industry experts. “We are excited to add a new twist to the competition screenings based on feedback from the past year that combines the flexibility of the programming with the need of the attendees to have a designated screening that showcases the best of the best,” Archibeque added.

Found it on this press release:

每年Siggraph最精彩的一道大餐莫过于她的电子剧场,全球优秀的思维在这里呈现华丽的心灵之舞！
没有了他，Siggraph将沦为技术与论文的产物。请不要把这洁白的羽翼折断！

Electronic theatre was certainly one of the highlights of Siggraph. A big show with some great stuff, and recently some really cool interactive crowd games for warm up.

So, yes, please bring it back!

SAVE ET!

Definitely one of the highlights of Siggraph for me. Getting something into the Electronic Theater is the career goal of many a CG nut (myself included). Don’t rob me of my dreams and aspirations – it’s un-American dammit!

BTW, the URL right above the banners seems to be a different site than the iPetition everyone has signed so far.
