According to X Media Lab "Sometime soon, the ever-exploding possibilities ofgames technologies and game-play will reduce the linear video of traditional documentary storytelling to the same role as the film trailer – i.e., a small advertisement for the main event"
X|Media|Lab events are held in Australia, China, Hollywood, India, Korea, London, the Middle East, New Zealand, and Singapore. XML is the internationally creative thinktank for digital media professionals.
This year XML partnerships with ABC TV and Screen Australia initiative. The lab enjoins documentary filmmakers and game makers to produce new ideas about creating new forms for documentary and factual content for Serious Games "Serious Games (virtual worlds, immersive environments) will completely re-configure the landscapes of factual content with a richness, complexity, and depth not possible with linear video. The ways in which information and factual content of all kinds are communicated, acquired, and shared is about to be transformed."
Each of the finalist projects in the Lab will receive AUD$15,000 for concept development, and the best project will receive AUD$325,000 for full scale development.
The lab was held June 13-14 2009
