Article Abstract:

It is widely believed that films are becoming more like video games. Similarly, software publishers seek to include cinematic elements in their games. It is rumoured that there are plans for film adaptations of all leading video games. Most recently, Ben Affleck's production company has been considering purchasing the rights for a film version of Outcast, the new Belgian science-fiction game. However, most attempts to produce a film adaptation of popular video games have not been successful.

Some of the most impressive work at the 1998 festival was produced in countries which do not have an international reputation for filmmaking. These include Burkina Faso, Chad and Azerbaijan.
