It was the second annual MMIF machinima filmfestival in 3D cyberspace / Second Life, and with screening in a "real" physical space. This time at the Artspace + Medialab "Planet Art" in Amsterdam.

More than 50 machinimas were shown.

The seven hour marathon could also be followed on the web, via livestream broadcasts.
