Winner - New Documentary Director Special Jury Mention, Tribeca Film Festival, 2023
After coming out as a trans woman, world record–holding gamer, Narcissa Wright loses her massive fanbase. To win them back, she attempts to set a new world record in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, while live-streaming every minute of her mythic quest.
Drawing from an archive of more than 3,000 hours of Narcissa’s livestreams, intimate verité and 8-bit animation, Break the Game is a moving exploration of gamer culture, the realities of online harassment and the mental health implications of living a digital life.
Stick around after the Saturday, January 20 screening for a live "speedrun", wherein gamer LovelySirius will attempt to break the world record time for completing the game Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
LovelySirius will be providing some live commentary to the Cinema as they run through the game.
Audience members will have the opportunity to interact with LovelySirius and others through the live chat in the dedicated Twitch stream for the speedrun. Ticketholders are encouraged to download the Twitch app and create an account before the event if they haven't already.
