Among the events planned for Screenplay 2004 are:

*Regain The Game:
A new competition looking for creative proposals to rethink the video
game. Flyers have already been distributed for this worldwide requesting proposals for ‘wild ideas that go way beyond a tweak to the old favourites.’ The finalists’ games will be available to play for one week leading up to the festival, at Broadway Cinema in Nottingham and on the web at: http://www.broadway.org.ukwww.broadway.org.uk.
The competition will be judged through live debate between industry figures, designers, artists and fans at the Screenplay Weekend.

*Stelarc:
The Australian artist will be demonstrating his new creation ‘The Prosthetic Head’ as a giant street projection outside the Broadway Cinema. The Head is a conversational agent with real-time lip-synch and facial expression capabilities. It is promised that it will even sing!
