Us and the Game Industry

Debut documentarian Stephanie Beth explores the endeavours undertaken by creative contributors to the 21st century’s biggest art form: the video game.

“Making a case for the centrality of games to modern life, Us and the Game Industry confirms everything so-called ‘art gamers’ already knew, and brings the rest of us up to speed. Along the way Beth discovers why games, despite being the most successful entertainment form in history, remain relatively invisible, bemoans the imaginative failure of blockbuster ‘AAA’ games, investigates the nature of creativity in the digital age, and argues that we’re just seeing the beginning of gaming as a form.” (New Zealand International Film Festival)
