SecondLife Black Independent Film Festival
Iconoclast Productions is working to carve out a bit of virtual space in the virtual life simulation SecondLife in order to present the works of African American independent film makers to a global audience. The film festival will take place at the lovely theater in the City of Midsonia (designed and operated by Penelope Parx.)
