When computer games and short films cross paths, magic happens. These two fascinating worlds bring out the best in each other. This unique compilation features several short films that use the visual language of real computer games to tell their own story. Some video game developers also produce their own short film parallel to their game, as a way of promoting the game or as a stand-alone concept.
