Don’t miss the Q&A…

After you register for this screening, be sure to register for the follow-up event, Members-Only Q&A: Console Wars, featuring a conversation with co-directors/executive producers Jonah Tulis and Blake J. Harris. (Thursday, October 1 – 3:00 pm PT)

Members, you and a guest are invited to watch the feature-length documentary Console Wars in the Film Independent Presents Online Screening Room.

An Official Selection of the 2020 SXSW Film Festival, Console Wars takes viewers back to 1990 when Sega, a fledgling arcade company, assembled a team of underdogs to take on the greatest video game company in the world: Nintendo. It was a once-in-a-lifetime, no-holds-barred conflict that pit brother against brother, kids against grownups, Sonic against Mario, and America’s unique brand of capitalism against centuries-old Japanese tradition. For the first time ever, the men and women who fought on the front lines for Sega and Nintendo discuss this battle that defined a generation.
