Join Sundance Film Forward for a free evening of independent gaming and film at the Bill Cosford Cinema.

6:30pm – Immersive workshop with Navid Khonsari presenting his new interactive video game, 1979 Revolution.

7:00pm – Screening of the award winning film, We Are The Giant, with producer Razan Ghalayini in attendance for a Q&A discussion.

Synopsis
In We Are The Giant, ordinary citizens face the same moral questions that have defined revolutionary leaders across the ages, from Jefferson to Che to Mandela. With remarkable access, the film takes its audience inside the lives of six extraordinary people who grapple with the agonizing and universal dilemmas at the heart of all struggles for justice and freedom: whether to take up arms and fight, or to advocate change through peace and non-violence.

1979 Revolution, the action/adventure game, immerses players into the gritty, euphoric streets of revolution – where the choices you make may betray you. Set in the actual events of 1979 Iran.
