Doc/Fest - Sheffield

#dfdocgames
We already know games to be powerful storytelling and teaching tools, but can games be truly documentary in nature? What is a documentary game? How is this blended genre bringing filmmakers and game-makers together, and how does the truth present itself in a designed multimedia system comprising fact, story, and rules? A cross-disciplinary panel of experts discusses the theory and practice of documentary game-making, including financing, research, production and distribution. Additionally, the social impact and ethics of documentary games will be explored.
