Game Happens

About

Game Happens is the international festival dedicated to the cultural, political and social impact of video games.

Game Happnes is an event that focuses on the most innovative elements of the European independent video game scene, to link this field with the other creative, cultural and technological industries. Game Happens treasures a transdisciplinary approach to culture and explores the single elements that are redefining the video game as a means of communication and expression.

Particular attention will be given to representing the diversity of the authors who belong to the independent game scene and are responsible of innovating the field thanks to their creativity and specific cultural heritage.

Game Happens Festival is divided into two main formats: a conference, in English, aimed at industry professionals, but also at students who want to start working in the field, and an exhibition, which is open to the general public, where people are invited to get in touch with some of the most groundbreaking independent games.

Game Happens is organised by Regione Liguria, through its in house company Liguria International, with the support of the Cultural Association Game Happens, and financed by the POR FESR Liguria.  In collaboration with Società per Cornigliano and ETT SpA. With the Patronage of the University of Genova.
