The main feature that Linea d’Ombra proposes in addressing a broad and complex topic such as that of video games is to adopt an approach – unique in Italy – which aims to talk about video games from an artistic and cultural point of view; the predominant vision on this media today, however, is that mainly linked to fairs, which differently pushes (in a completely legitimate and interesting way, of course) more on the concept of community that comes together, that does things together, and in general on the entertainment.

Among the few realities that talk about video games from a cultural point of view instead, there is also the Kaboom Festival in the Netherlands, born as an animation festival and considered one of the most important in the world of its kind, but which since the past edition has opened up to gaming by adopting a vision common to ours, although articulated in a very different way in the approach. With the heads of the gaming section of the Kaboom Festival Eline Soumeru and Luuk Van Huet, Franco Cappuccio the head of the gaming section of Linea d’Ombra will talk about what makes a video game an artistic and cultural product, what drives cultural festivals to introduce a section dedicated to this medium within their programming and what, according to them, is the future that they expect.
