Program Note
<I>SAVE THE GAME</I>, which meticulously and ingeniously documents the history of Korean PC games from the rise of personal computers in the 1980s to the present, can be seen as a sequel to director Park Yoonjin’s previous work, People in Elancia (2020). While the earlier film observed trends in the gaming industry through the affectionate perspectives and dynamic activities of the players of the RPG game ‘Elancia’, <I>SAVE THE GAME </I>focuses on the history of the Korean gaming industry through the testimonies of industry professionals and historical materials. It is a clever and scrupulous documentary that systematically organizes the stories of the first-generation game developers, and summarizes the historical flow by varying the content of the introductory captions of these living witnesses of the Korean game industry.
