Rivers Run Red sends word of the second annual Avalon Film Festival they’re holding this week in the virtual world of Second Life, in association with 4 Talent and The Guardian. Through December 11th, you can watch 80 different short films — including dramas, documentaries, animated films and machinima — in what sounds like a very cool »venue«, an enormous Zeppelin airship, floating high above Avalon Island. There’s even a cute little festival guide, in PDF format, that you can download. A number of Second Life films will be on display (check the guide for scheduling), as well as short documentaries with cool-sounding names like Subverting the City (shown here). If it gives us a peek into something called the Office of Subversive Architecture, I’m all for it.
