For the past 10 years, the AFI Digital Content Lab has identified, encouraged and celebrated cutting-edge examples of digital media. Throughout the years, the AFI Digital Content Lab serves as the premier R&D incubator for new forms of digital entertainment. Working with several hundred volunteer mentors, the Lab has generated more than 90 cutting edge digital media prototypes that consistently set a standard for innovation, excellence and real-world viability. These proof-of-concept prototypes are conceived and built by collaborative teams of mentors who donate time, vision and production skills over a three- to six-month hands-on development period. AFI Digital Content Lab prototypes play across an ever-widening spectrum of screens, providing a unique window onto the fast-changing landscape of film, television, games, broadband and mobile entertainment. Once per year, these projects make their world debut at AFI DigiFest, a two-day event held in conjunction with AFI FEST. A second component of AFI DigiFest, curated by the Digital Content Lab, includes presentations from creators of the year's best digital media productions around the globe. In 2008, AFI DigiFest will take place on November 6-7.
