dedicated to all free topic flash animations. Each participant can present more than one video, to be submitted via e-mail or on CD-ROM, exclusively in SWF format.
• Animation – Digital Terrestrial TV
This section is dedicated to all flash animations dealing with the development of digital terrestrial technology and the service improvements that such technology could bring about in everyday life. The Piemonte Region reserves the right to use the best animations for institutional and promotional purposes. Furthermore, to facilitate the creation of a more complete product, the images that will be used in the promotional campaign for digital terrestrial TV in the region will be published on the website www.regione.piemonte.it in around mid-March, 2008.
B) Flash Games
Interactivity and play are essential characteristics of digital media, in communication as much as in art. In particular, the videogame is a new form of expression, which allows experimentation with language, models of narration, design, technologies, viral marketing and in which it is possible to develop new forms of creativity. In this context, the Flash Games sections was created, in collaboration with the Development Program of the TOP-IX Consortium. The Management of the Festival has dedicated two categories to the Flash Games Section:
• FreeGames - dedicated to all flash games based on free topics.
• AdsGames – dedicated to flash games created for the purposes of advertising and creating commercials for real and imaginary products.
