We regret to inform you that the 2020 MILAN MACHINIMA FESTIVAL has been postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 emergency in Northern Italy. New dates will be announced in the following weeks. On behalf of the entire curatorial team, I would like to thank you for your patience and understanding. In the meantime, check out our CALL FOR PAPERS.
Matteo Bittanti
We are delighted to announce the full program of the 2020 MILAN MACHINIMA FESTIVAL.
The event takes place between March 09-13 2020 at IULM University in two separate locations: the Contemporary Exhibition Hall and the Sala dei 146, both located in the IULM Open Space building. Both venues are open to the public, but we kindly encourage attendees to register for the screening on Friday March 13 2020 in the Sala dei 146 as seats are limited.
Please note that each day features a different program. The festival is bookended by two sections titled GAME VIDEO ESSAY A (March 09 2020) and B (March 13 2020), after a successful run in the 2019 event of the4 same title. From Tuesday until Thursday we will present an indepth look at four artists whose daring, groundbreaking, unclassifiable work has redefined the aesthetics of machinima: Larry Achiampong, David Blandy, Jacky Connolly, and Oscar Wagenmans in the context of the Contemporary Exhibition Hall.
The festival concludes on Friday March 13 with The Weird, The Eerie, and The Unreal, which includes a selection of the most impressive works submitted this year and evaluated by our international jurors. During the screening, we will announce the 2020 Critics’ Award.
