Festival Description:

The Machinima Festival is the Academy of Machinima Arts and Sciences' annual event showcasing Machinima works, producers and technologies. Founded in 2002, the event has grown from its humble beginnings as an unofficial adjunct to the 2002 QuakeCon in Mesquite, Texas to the definitive Machinima event held in New York City.

The mission behind the festival is the same as that of the Academy itself: to promote Machinima awareness and the artform as a whole. Machinima screens films, videos, digital and 3D animation and gaming technology of all genres that explore new media and production techniques.
