Press Release Summary: Metaversum, the developer and operator of the 3D online world
www.twinity.com, is the official partner of the Bitfilm Digital Film Festival.

Press Release Body: Berlin, 2 June 2008 - This year's Bitfilm Festival for digital
film will also be taking place on the three-dimensional internet for the very first
time. As official cooperation partner, Metaversum GmbH from Berlin has created the
virtual art city 'Bitropolis' for Bitfilm within the 3D online world, Twinity.

Bitropolis is the virtual home of the Bitfilm Festival and houses a cinema, art
gallery, and bar, where festival fans can gather for a virtual drink after the film.
Filmmakers and 3D artists can also rent their own studio cube within Bitropolis and
host special film screenings or exploit the space for other creative ideas. The
studio cubes, which can also be used as a personal exhibition space for videos,
music, or 3D objects, are located all around the Bitropolis cinema, where nominated
festival films will be screened.

"Bitropolis is a wonderful example of the vision that we are pursuing with the
virtual world Twinity. Real events, such as the Bitfilm Festival in Stuttgart and
Hamburg, are given a whole new dimension when they are transferred into a virtual
world. We thus enable users from all around the world to take part in the festival
and experience the best featured films," comments Dr. Mirko Caspar, CMO of
Metaversum GmbH.

The Bitfilm Festival 2008 is running from 01 May to 12 July. Users who wish to visit
Bitropolis can register online via the following websites:
