Hackathons

Sign-ups are open for both GenJams: the four-hour one live on site, and the online edition hosted by Warsaw Presidential Hotel.

Four hours on the clock in War­saw, or the on­line edi­tion from any­where in the world, with a stay in the Pres­i­den­tial Suite as the prize. Each edi­tion takes sign-ups on its own Luma page.

The live Gen­Jam took place on Fri­day 28 Au­gust in the Acad­e­my room at the Warsaw Presidential Hotel, as Machine Cinema GenJam™ powered by Popcorn.co. At 13:00 the Machine Cinema team, Minh Do, Meg Button and Affan Imran, gave the in­tro­duc­tion, and from 13:30 to 16:00 the teams worked on site, from an idea to a fin­ished piece.

Gen­Jam™ On­line ran on the theme Suite Dreams: Des­ti­na­tion War­saw. The brief was a film in which the ho­tel plays the lead: any form, from an ad or a mu­sic video to fic­tion, but with the hotel's logo and the ho­tel it­self on screen, its tow­er, its in­te­ri­ors or the views from its rooms. The com­pe­ti­tion was de­cid­ed on Sun­day 30 August.
