A previous London Games Festival ran until 2012 featuring a series of diverse events from the world of interactive entertainment.
The LGF provided the industry with the opportunity to showcase creativity and artistry, from script-writers to animators, musicians to programmers.
The Festival also worked to enhance perceptions of interactive entertainment and the industry by engaging with existing institutional advocates (BAFTA, ELSPA, DfES, DCMS, BBFC, DTI, LDA) and illustrating compelling and positive research while promoting future vision and horizons of the games industry.
Plans are afoot for a relaunch which will look at the interplays and crossovers between games, film, television, theatre and other creative industries.
A pop-up Games Fringe Cafe and drop-in lounge was set up at Soho TV and post-production training facility 01zero-one which was open to all festival attendees.
