Film program and Q&A in collaboration with Oberhausen Short Film Festival

Machinima is an innovative and ever-changing form of filmmaking where video games or game engines are employed to create animated movies and other forms of visual media.

This year's edition of the Oberhausen Short Film Festival in Germany presented Against Gravity. The Art of Machinima, an extensive program curated by Vladimir Nadein and Dmitry Frolov that delved into some of the most compelling aspects of Machinima.

In collaboration with the festival, we hereby present its first section, Hold the Controller, a program that examines how filmmakers address questions regarding the relationship between the body, identity and the game apparatus.

With an introduction and Q&A with Vladimir Nadein and Dmitry Frolov.
