What is the Expo?

The Machinima Expo (MachinExpo) is an international festival of machinima films and events which takes place on the internet and in the virtual world of Second Life sometime in November. Now in it’s 3rd year of existence, the 2010 Machinima Expo promises to be the biggest and most complete festival yet.

The Expo is primarily about machinima films and the people who make them. We plan on featuring a major screening of machinima, a juried competition for machinima of high quality, workshops, presentations, interviews, panel discussions, installations and an awards ceremony. In addition, there will be numerous opportunities for those who attend to meet up and share information and ideas about animation and machinima.

Last year we screened over 50 films. We ran them 24/7 from a week before the Expo and into the week after. That gives you two full weeks to see all of the films we have chosen for this years Expo (2010). And unlike last year, you won’t have to come to Second Life to watch them. We will be working together with TMUnderground and Vimeo this year to make all of our films available to anyone who has access to the internet and a browser.

Our commitment to you is to bring the best films we can find, at the highest quality. In addition, we promise to make this years Expo the most accessible one yet.
