A month of talking…

Spent a great day last Saturday at mediacampnottingham 2 talking about the festival, and more specifically our current schemes to open it up and make both the production and the participation immeasurably easier. Martin Wright did a generous write-up of the session over at his blog. MCN2 was a really exciting day for me, which left me inspired, curious and frustrated in equal measure. It’s put on by some of the folks behind Creative Nottingham, where you can also catch Susi’s liveblog of the day.

8th April
Dr Jimmy and I are going to be at the Bridport Film Festival talking about Bond and videogames.

24th April
GameCity are collaborating on an event with the awesome ScreenLit festival at midday. I’m going to be onstage from midday with Sam Lake, writer of the Max Payne series and the forthcoming Alan Wake at Remedy, talking about his work as a writer in the games industry. This is the first UK public event for Sam and we’re hugely excited to be producing it. GET TICKETS HERE!

You should also note that ScreenLit has some amazing events this year, NG1 once again punching well above its weight.

29th April
GameCityNights Episode 3 will be kicking off at Antenna at around 7.00pm. It’ll be an awesome line-up, but we can’t tell you what yet.

Jimmy and I are talking at the Bridport* page to Screen festival next month delivering “..a cocktail of music, action and cultural
theory.”

Details can be found here.

*Long time followers of poorly attended fringe theatre may recall my last performance at the Bridport Arts Centre back in the late 90′s. This time, no-one will be dressed as a dog.

  • #gamecitynights planning is going v well. Things *never* go this smoothly… #
  • Hello, I’m Iain.

    I direct the GameCity festival, work on the National Videogame Archive and write and talk about videogames, technology and culture.

    I live in Nottingham with my brilliant wife, splendid son, stupid (and latterly, depressed) dog and several incredibly powerful computers.
