The second annual MaMachinima International Festival will begin screening films tomorrow at 10AM (Pacific Time) at 4 specially designed locations in the virtual world of Second Life. With over 50 machinima films screening, the event will run for 7 hours with a 2-hour after event party. For those who can’t make it to Second Life, the event is being screened live in Amsterdam (at PLANETART Medialab Artspace) and online at the MMIF site. The festival is non-competitive (no awards will be given) and is instead devoted to bringing machinima to a wider audience and to celebrate this new artform. Founded by Chantal Harvey and many, many volunteers, this festival has a wonderful spirit and is a not-to-be-missed event. In addition to screening films, many of the filmmakers will be discussing their work and answering questions.
Here is the basic information on the festival as provided by MMIF.org

Katy Fosk’s film “The Vampyre“ will screen at 11:30AM. I voiced the main character and created a new sound edit for the film. Unfortunately, I won’t be on hand to discuss the work as I have to be at work. But I believe Kate will be and I hope to attend later in the afternoon.
See you there!
