SUMMARY:Game Happens 2019
DESCRIPTION:Game Happens (8-10 November @ Genova\, Italy) is the international festival dedicated to the cultural\, political and social impact of video games. The 2019 theme is Elements of Change. \nFrom 8th to 10th November 2019\, Game Happens – the International Festival in Italy dedicated to the cultural\, political and social impact of video games – returns to Genova with a fifth edition that focuses on the most innovative elements of the European independent video game scene\, to link this field with the other creative\, cultural and technological industries. The 2019 theme is Elements of Change. \nIn the year that commemorates both the 150th anniversary of the establishment of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements and the centenary of the birth of Primo Levi\, an author who was able to combine chemistry and literature together\, Game Happens treasures a transdisciplinary approach to culture and explores the single elements that are redefining the video game as a means of communication and expression. \nParticular attention will be given to representing the diversity of the authors who belong to the independent game scene and are responsible of innovating the field thanks to their creativity and specific cultural heritage. \nGame Happens Festival is divided into two main formats: a conference\, in English\, aimed at industry professionals\, but also at students who want to start working in the field\, and an exhibition\, which is open to the general public\, where people are invited to get in touch with some of the most groundbreaking independent games. \nIf you want to take part in Game Happens\, you can submit your talk or project here → http://bit.ly/gh2019-call \nMore info about Game Happens → gamehappens.com \nGame Happens 2019 is an event organised by Regione Liguria\, through its in house company Liguria International\, with the support of the Cultural Association Game Happens\, and financed by the POR FESR Liguria 2014-2020. In collaboration with Società per Cornigliano.

SUMMARY:The Overkill 2019
DESCRIPTION:Game Festival \nFrom the website: \nThe Overkill is a playful festival which regroups an art exhibition\, a selection of indie games (+ retro games + a mini LAN)\, an alternative movie program\, live performances and many activities such as workshops\, masterclasses\, talks… all selected around our theme and presented together in an original and immersive setting. \nThe Overkill is an open platform\, a flexible space for creative minds to meet and an intense time to share thoughts and experiences. With our partners we are bringing together artists\, creative thinkers\, developers\, students and professionals to explore the edges of the gaming culture. \nWe use popular culture to debate social issues in an accessible way. \nPlaying is the core element of our event\, we believe game is a source of socializing\, a diplomatic tool\, a stress releaser\, a way to learn or master things and an amazing way to spend our time! Our visitors are invited to participate\, try out\, watch debate and create\, transforming the festival and their experience. It is our intention to present art and artists in playful ways\, looking for new and real encounters. \nTheme \nUnder the theme ‘Modding Realities (a combination of terms from what seems two opposite environments: the gaming world and the real world)\, the program of the festival questions the meaning of reality in a digital society. A society in which humanity is computerized and undergoing a technological (r)evolution and where virtual and real can’t be opposed any longer. \nMods in gaming are _alteration that players or fans make to change one or more aspects of a game\, such as how it looks or behaves. Reality (oxford dictionary)is _the state of things as they actually exist\, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them. Inspired by this process\, the program of the festival looks into how digital culture and gaming transform our experience of reality\, where virtual and real can’t be opposed any longer. \n  \n
