Super FESTival is Hand Eye Society’s week-long hybrid celebration of videogames as creative expression, running November 1–7 across Toronto and online. All selected artists are paid and featured in a multi-platform showcase, including livestreams, Torontron arcade cabinets, and interactive exhibitions.

While we’ve received some fantastic game submissions already, we’re still looking to round out our lineup, especially with:

• Talks
