Fall 2018, Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs launched the first ever GRADflix competition. Graduate students were invited to create a 60-second video, moving slide show, or animation about their research. Entries were judged based on communication, creativity and visual impact, and technical quality. Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs showcased all 15 videos from the finalists at the GRADflix showcase. The videos are also available online.
Four members from the Games Institute were among the 15 finalists: Tina Chan, Rina Wehbe, Jason Lajoie, and Siyavash Izadi. English PhD candidate Jason Lajoie was awarded second place for his video "Making gay identities: Queer media practices queering media technologies". MSc candidate Siyavash Izadi was awarded third place and the People's Choice award for his video, "Virtuality of Motion Sickness".
