The first machinima festival to be held in Europe took place at DMU in Leicester - and in Second Life - on 12-14 October. This quickly-growing genre fuses film-making and computer gaming to provide a quick and cost-effective way to create animated films. Bob Stein's interview in This Spartan Life is a wonderful example.

Best Experimental award went to Cirque du Machinima: Cuckoo Clock by Tom Jantol of Croatia. it's great to see something made in this way which has such a thoroughly non-Hollywood aesthetic. There's amazing potential here for writers - and readers - to create visualisations of work without teams of techies and budgets of millions.
