Santa Monica, Calif. - A "machinima" film created within a video game that challenges players to become movie moguls and create their own movies has gained notoriety and the attention of MTV.com and The Washington Post. "The French Democracy," a film created by French designer Alex Chan using Activision and developer Lionhead Studios' "The Movies" game, documents the political situation and recent riots in France. "With The Movies we wanted to make a game that allows anyone to easily express themselves by making a short film and posting them online to share with the world," said Lionhead Studios' Peter Molyneux.
