Global Kids' Digital Media Initiative

Following the highly successful public screening of A Child's War on September 7, 2007 at the Museum of the Moving Image, Global Kids submitted the teen-made machinima video to the Machinima Festival 2007, which will be held in Europe for the first time in October, 2007. The seven-minute film has been viewed over 2,200 times on YouTube. Recently an article on the teens who created the film was published by Alaska Airlines. Click here to read the article.

It’s now official! A Child’s War was nominated as BEST STUDENT MACHINIMA in the Best Student category, among four other teen-made films from around the globe. The DeMontfort University in Leicester, UK, will host the award ceremony on October 13, 2007.
