Like independent film, the "independent games" space is now engaging in provocative approaches to real-world issues that promote social change. A nascent economy for addressing artistic expression and politics through gaming is taking shape; this panel addresses the role of filmmakers and activists in this movement, as well as avenues to new funding and content models. Moderated by Heather Chaplin (author, Smartbomb; The Quest for Art, Entertainment, and Big Bucks in the Videogame Revolution) and featuring: Suzanne Seggerman (Games for Change), Eddo Stern (videogame artist), Asi Burak (ImpactGames (Peacemaker)), Eric Zimmerman (gameLab), and Connie Yowell (the MacArthur Foundation)

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
