Cruising in the Realm of the Unreal
6 works, 86 min.
Playing in the space between the real and the unreal. A new avant-garde? Video games + movies = the world of machinima.
“Machinima” is moving image art that sees the world of video games as a new frontier in cinema, creates artistic worlds with video game engines as virtual readymade resources, and takes inspiration from video game culture. Artists and curators involved in a major machinima program at the 2023 Oberhausen Short Film Festival in Germany have been invited to introduce trends in this comparatively new form of moving image expression.
