SUMMARY:Living The Game (virtual film screening)
DESCRIPTION:Living The Game\nFriday\, March 8\, 6:00PM – Sunday\, March 10\, 11:59PM (ET)\nVirtual Film Screening | Canada-Wide | Admission Free \nDirected by GOTSU Takao • 2017 • Documentary • 88 minutes • Presented in Japanese\, English\, French\, and Mandarin with English subtitles • Trailer \nThe world of professional video-gaming is a high stakes arena where cash prizes are worth millions\, and international fame and glory await the best. But who are these pro gamers\, and what does it take to become a true legend? \nUMEHARA Daigo\, “The Beast\,” is the world’s greatest ever Street Fighter player. For Momichi his young rival\, Daigo seems untouchable\, until a tournament victory places the legend in his sights. But what Momichi and the other challengers – Luffy from France\, Justin from the USA\, and GamerBee from Taiwan – are learning\, Daigo knows only too well: living the game is not just about winning and losing\, and victory can be as poisonous as defeat. \nIn the gaming world they are heroes\, but in society pro gamers are still seen as social outcasts or even addicts. Three years in the making\, Living The Game profiles five young pro gamers from Japan\, France\, USA\, and Taiwan\, as they go head-to-head in tournaments around the world. From Tokyo to Las Vegas\, we follow their highs and lows as they land huge sponsorship deals\, attract devoted fan bases and above all\, live the game. \nFree to stream. Register below. \n  \n\nRelated Programming: \n \nImmerse Deeper into the World of Japanese Video Games with JFT Library  \nJFT Library presents a curated selection of physical and electronic books on Japanese video games in English and Japanese.
