Calling all filmmakers and video artists! Transform gaming footage into provocative art. We welcome innovative machinima that repurposes, remixes, and reimagines video games.
We curate screenings around pressing themes, showcasing pieces that capture the complexities of contemporary life. Gaming’s unique aesthetics offer a dynamic lens to explore politics, art, technology, violence, ideology, and creativity. The most captivating submissions tap into gaming’s artistic potential to highlight real-world issues. An international panel of scholars, curators, and critics will select the most compelling works for exhibition. And yes, the most groundbreaking submission will receive our Critics’ Award.
Submissions are open through December 30, 2023. The full exhibition program will be announced in February 2024. The seventh edition of the Milan Machinima Festival will take place in Milan, Italy between March 11-17 2024. Please review our guidelines thoroughly before applying. This is your opportunity to have boundary-pushing machinima presented to a global audience.
Let your radical vision shine by submitting today!
