Machinima--Join The Quest 2 Change Real Life

SEHN has launched an international machinima festival called The Quest 2 Change Real Life (www.quest2changeRL.com).  With machinima, filmmakers use characters from the virtual worlds of video games to create their own stories. The New York Times described machinima as “what you get when gamers stop blasting aliens for a second and start messing with the narrative.”

This contest is the first to use the popularity of video games to encourage action to protect Real Life--known in online speak as RL. Videos submitted to the contest must include solutions to the ecological crisis, specifically: climate crisis, biodiversity/extinction, and environmental justice. Videomakers will include concepts like the “guardianship of future generations” and the “precautionary principle” in their submitted videos. This will be the first-ever social issue­–themed machinima contest.
