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.

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

SUMMARY:Feral Vector 2020
DESCRIPTION:“Feral Vector is not like other game design events. If you feel like an impostor at games events\, you’re not only welcome here\, we encourage you to attend. If you are in the videogames industry\, but looking for more than it can give\, Feral Vector is for you.

SUMMARY:Different Perspectives: Art Games Festival
DESCRIPTION:Different Perspectives: Art Games Festival is a triptych of activities\, each of which plays a unique role in supporting and helping to grow games as an art form. \n\nThe exhibition Relive/Herleef showcases autobiographical video games. (20 – 23 January 2022 & 27 – 30 January 2022)\nThe Networking Day brings creators together to meet\, exchange experience and collaborate. (21 January 2022)\nDuring Global Game Jam Antwerp\, creatives team up to make games in 48 hours time. (28-30 January 2022)\n\nAs a whole\, these activities highlight and celebrate the cultural value of video games during this two week festival in Het Bos. \nNot a gamer? Not a game developer? Not a problem! In the exhibition Relive/Herleef we welcome everyone with an open mind and cultural interest. We make sure anyone can discover the artistic potential of the 21st century’s most revolutionary medium. \nThe festival takes place over two weekends in Antwerp\, Belgium. \nWeekend 1: Exhibition + networking day\nWeekend 2: Exhibition + Global Game Jam \n\n  \nExhibition: Relive/Herleef \n\nAn exhibition of autobiographical video games. \nEach work tells a different story\, and different stories often need different ways of arousing empathy: different forms of experiencing\, or in this case…. Reliving. \nRelive / Herleef presents games that give new insights into what games can be\, both in terms of content and form. \nIt showcases topics such as mental health issues\, war experiences\, loss of loved ones\, body image and eating disorders. But also positive experiences such as the value of peace\, family and LGBTQ+ love are highlighted. \nSome games are made by teams over the course of several years\, and were published globally. Some are made by one person in several days\, as a form of personal expression. But they all share heartfelt personal experiences\, each in their own way. \n\nExhibited games: \n\nBrukel – Bob De Schutter and Bie Verlinden\nConsume me – Jenny Jiao Hsia\, AP Thomson\nThat Dragon\, Cancer – Amy and Ryan Green\nComing out simulator – Nicky Case\nLieve Oma – Florian Veltman\nplum road tea dream (research) – Samuel Baidoo\nBRR – Vaida Plankytė\nCompass – Linsey Raymaekers\nThe Book Ritual – Alistair Aitcheson\nThe Beginner’s Guide – Davey Wreden\n\nNetworking Day\n21 January 10:00 – 17:00 \n\nThe Different Perspectives Networking Day stimulates cross-fertilisation between different sectors and is a meeting place for individuals and studios with professional experience in making and developing video games\, with a passion for society\, culture and/or art on the one hand and local professional artists\, in the broad sense of the term\, independent of discipline\, who want to embrace the interactivity of game technology in order to reshape the social themes and stories that drive them. \nOn this networking day\, we present 3 international speakers with relevant experience in the overlapping field of culture\, arts\, games and an info session on relevant support initiatives. \nThere will also be a speed-pitch round\, a networking lunch\, and participants will have access to the Relive exhibition. \nTalks & Panels: \n\nPolitical Games with a Decolonial Perspective – Isabelle Arvers\nVAF Panel: Artistic games in Flanders with Hannes Devillé\, Thomas Devillé (Devillé Arcade)\, Christopher Morrison (The Werewolf Experience)\, Jeroen Janssens (Happy Volcano)\, Frank and Robbert (Robbert&Frank).

SUMMARY:The Overkill 2023
DESCRIPTION:The Overkill 2023 – Theme: The Outburst of the Digital Swamp \nWelcome to the Meta-swamp \nRather than draining the (digital)wetlands\, The Overkill wishes to design a route through its intoxicating everglades. Artists navigating through the post-digital now think of the swamp as a scape of hybridization\, material transformation\, monstrous mutation – a new space for agency. The swamp is the site inhabited by amphibious entities\, exiled variations of the self\, a liquefying space expanding on to different layers. The festival invites these hybrid and mixed media artists accustomed to the porous and dripping networks. Borrowing from memetic cultures\, cyber fashion\, slime aesthetics\, deflated ethno-futurisms\, 3D morphologies\, and syncretic fairy tales\, these networks are to be navigated in adventurous ways\, taking on a role and playing on new connections. \nAbout The Overkill Festival \nThe Overkill festival is a playful art festival celebrating art house video games\, interactive art and films as tools to engage in social challenges. The program of the festival regroups an exhibition\, workshops\, talks\, experimental live performances and screenings. In 2023 The Overkill festival is also the stage of a LARP (live action role play) that each visitor can be part of.The program brings local\, national and international artists and creators together and is curated by Aike Lütkemöller and Marie Janin from Sickhouse with the support of guest curator Kostis Stafylakis\, playful curator Zuraida Buter and artist researcher Erik Peters.The LARP is a co-creation of Kostis Stafylakis and Theo Triantafyllidis.

SUMMARY:The Overkill 2024
DESCRIPTION:The Overkill is the playful festival celebrating indie and arthouse games\, interactive arts and alternative films within a cultural and social context. Interdisciplinary\, experimental and international\, The Overkill presents and welcomes game makers\, digital creators and playful artists from all over the world. Following a theme\, the festival tells a story\, connecting one piece to another and inviting visitors to engage into multiple worlds. \nThe festival explores its theme through the multiple voices of the artists presented and creates a space for the public to react and engage with one another. The festival presents immersive and interactive exhibitions\, film screenings\, a selection of workshops and talks and live performances. The festival is a space to play\, meet\, experience\, share and collaborate. \nThe Overkill 2024 is curated by Marie Janin and Aike Lütkemöller from Sickhouse alongside playful curator Zuraida Buter and artist researcher Erik Peters. \nTheme 2024: \nRadical Joy Resistance \nTriggered by a feeling of powerlessness in a world that seems wrapped in violence\, The Overkill festival is looking into the role of play within activism\, the place joy can take in times of great crisis and the power of pleasure in movement of resistance. The festival is wondering what are the (digital) tools\, the (virtual) places\, the encounters\, the (online) gatherings we can create to give each other courage and build new lines of defence. The program will create room for the voices that we don’t hear\, open its space for listening\, to speak up\, to share and try together.\nThe Overkill invites playful artists to engage with us in the troubles and help us activate disruptive movements\, may it be small\, loud\, temporary or transformative. \n—- \nThe Overkill festival takes place over several locations : \nPerformance factory\, Hall Zuid : Hoge Bothofstraat 39F\, 7511 ZA Enschede\nBlackBrick : Hoge Bothofstraat 31F\, 7511ZA Enschede (not yet on google maps)\nConcordia : Langestraat 56\, 7511 HC Enschede(film program of Friday and Saturday)\nVestzak theater : Walstraat 35\, 7511 GG Enschede(Playful Friday) \nWednesday 20 : Secret Gathering (on invite\, for participants and volunteers only)\nThursday 21 : Expo open + Official opening\nFriday 22 : Expo + Playful Friday with talks and workshops for students & professionals\nSaturday & Sunday 23 & 24 : Expo + activities for everyone \nProgram: \nExpo: \n\nFrom the Main Square – Pedro Harris\nNew Suns – Antigoni Tsagkaropoulou\nBetween – Claire Kwong\nDance Poem Revolution – Melanie Hoff\nharri kanta – Juliette Lizotte\nJoystick – Madison Bycroft\nMbombo: Dream Echoes – Sondi\nViolent Violins exposed – Babak Ahteshamipour\nClaiming Space – Questions Collective\nCasual Games for Protesters – Molleindustria & Harry Josephine Giles\nMarch Together – Simona Marioano\nPerfect World – Michael Overton Brown\nThe Bride Who Could Not Stop Crying – Afrah Shafiq\nThe New York Times Simulator – Molleindustria\nUm Al-Zaytoun – Rafif Kalantan & Ashraf Abi Said\nStatera – Randy Querreveld\, Rick van Leeuwen and Denis Dvorkovyy\nAtuel – Matajuegos\nAnarquia – Alberto Rico – presented by Jugar Juegitos and Resistència Videolúdica\nGay Boy – Paramo.Yermo – presented by Jugar Juegitos and Resistència Videolúdica\nOjancanu –  Dobra Studios – presented by Jugar Juegitos and Resistència Videolúdica\nTo all the rocks that raised me – Carlos Cortés García – presented by Jugar Juegitos and Resistència Videolúdica\nSplit your dirty adventure – Ronia – presented by Jugar Juegitos and Resistència Videolúdica\n\nWorkshops: \n\nConsensual Hacking – Melanie Hoff\nPlaying with the Master’s tool – Noam Yongrak Son\nWindwerk (Wind Works) – Question Collective\nLarping and Player Agency – Jana Romanova\nPlaying Protest Games – Jana Romanova\nZine Creating Session – Nathalie Lawhead\nSickfem\, Having Fun with Synthesizers – Jack Noise\n\nEvents / Performances \n\nOpening: March of Resistance\nResistance or the vindication of a collective right –  LASTESIS\nPulse Friction – RADVLAD\nPlayful Friday Curated by Zuraida Buter – see line-up here.\nUnfolding\, intergalactic yoga – Anne Fehres and Luke Conroy\n\n  \nOpening: \nThis year\, the start of The Overkill is a Happening\, a party\, a manifestation! through movement\, we take over the public space in a playful intervention.\nInspired by silly walks\, street raves\, children games & playful actions.
