cinema@SQUARE meets Gaming Club November 10, 17 and 24, 6:15 pm
For the second time, the film series cinema@SQUARE is being curated by a student association of the University of St.Gallen. This autumn, it's the Gaming Club. The focus is on films that engage with the world of gaming in various ways, its stories, cultural significance, associated risks, and community building.
The Gaming Club will also invite suitable guests to discuss the films together with the audience afterward. Exciting film evenings await, along with new perspectives on a medium whose impact reaches far beyond the screen. Popcorn is, as always, for free.
