The event, which will include Machinima workshops, panels and screenings, is in its 2nd year at the Festival Arcadia - a large videogame cultural center point in Canada.

The full announce is below. The deadline is Oct. 6th, 2008, so between the Machinima Fest 2008 and the MachinExpo, you better put a move on it.

Thank you very much for posting our announcement and showing support for the Expo. Ingrid Moon, Phil Rice, Damien Valentine and myself are all working overtime to make this event unique and interesting to those who attend.
We are carefully trying to program and present a festival experience that is different from the New York Fest. We are emphasizing a "hands-on" approach at the Expo with multiple practical workshops. We are also featuring a keynote speaker (at this point we hope to bring over Mike Jones, but that's not definite at this point) and we are awarding "jury prizes" to 6 of the most interesting and accomplished films.
What we hope is that many people will be able to attend BOTH the New York Festival and the Machinima Expo. I'll certainly be a both events.
