Canada Cancels Machinima Festival!

The new Machinima Expo that was to take place as an adjunct of the Festival Arcadia in Montreal has now apparently been cancelled.

Wasn't there issues with the Ottawa animation festival as well?

So, even though Canadian company Bioware has hired numerous machinima makers, Canadian film festivals are not a safe haven for machinima? Seems rather strange doesn't it?

Since I'm not involved I won't even speculate as to the reasons.
