Telefilm Canada is pleased to announce that a total of44 Canadian short films have been selected for the 3rd annual edition of its Not Short On Talent market screenings at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival (May 15 to 26, 2013). Not Short On Talent is a collection of five 90-minute programs destined to screen at the Cannes Market and at the Festival’s Short Film Corner venue. Our initiative is designed to increase the international exploitation of new short films and to promote short film talent to international buyers and festival programmers.

Geçen hafta PAX East oyun fuarında tanıtılan bir ürün, epeyce ilgimizi çekti. Aramızda masaüstü RPG/FRP oyunları oynayanlar var. (Evet, o benim! -Can) Bir de bu oyunları dijital olarak oynayanlar var ki, bu kitle daha büyük. İşte bu iki tarzı biraraya getirmek için yola çıkan ‘Flying Helmet Games’ ekibi, çok teknolojik bir ürünle gelmişler fuara. (Read More)
Eon Altar presents to you a high-tech tabletop co-operative RPG. It’s designed to be played as a board game, bringing you and four friends together for some social gaming action without the mess of an actual board game (Seriously, no ever wants to clean up after Monopoly). I had no idea of the existence of this game until today, but I fell in love as soon as I set my eyes on the announcement video. (Read More)
Eon Altar is a new cooperative role-playing adventure that blends the experience of classic tabletop gaming and modern video games in a Tabletop Video Game. We had a sit-down chat with Flying Helmet Games‘ Project Director Edward Douglas a couple of weeks ago, and found the game and its mechanics to be rather intriguing.

Eon Altar is a new cooperative role-playing adventure that blends the experience of classic tabletop gaming and modern video games into a Tabletop Video Game. Five friends fight through dungeons to uncover ancient secrets and compete for glory and wealth. Using personal handsets to control your character’s actions, with a tablet to adventure through dungeons as a group, players undertake a cinematic journey unlike anything ever before in a tabletop setting. Through turn-based action and fast-paced combat, each player will build a legendary hero. Collect gear, earn new abilities, battle monstrous creatures, and overcome environmental challenges.
At the end of each gaming session the players will emerge victorious, but only through a balance of teamwork and healthy competition. However, through many sessions each character’s story will be revealed, and the ancient secrets from the depth of the caverns will be unveiled. (Read More)
