E For All Expo builds itself in its own press releases as "North America's premiere video game event." However, after failing to get most game publishers to participate in the Oct. 3-5 show in the LA Convention Center the organizers, IDG World Expo, are apparently trying some new tactics...like hosting a children's film festival.

Yes, you read that correctly. E For All will host the fourth annual Los Angeles International Film Festival during the event, which will have over 70 animated, live action and documentaries planned along with basic animation workshops. Mary Dolaher, the head of IDG World Expo, states that the film festival will provide "show attendees with access to an even broader range of creative entertainment." As we have reported previously only three major game publishers (Microsoft, EA and Ubisoft) have announced plans to exhibit at E For All this year.
