Episode Details

Christian Zyp interviews Simon Ennis (director) and Elizabeth Hargrave (Tabletop Game Creator) about the documentary THE HOBBY: TALES FROM THE TABLETOP. It screens Friday June 20th at 6:45 at Metro CInema. Simon and Elizabeth will be in attendance at the screening for a Q&A following the film.  

From the World Series of Board Games on the Vegas Strip and dating back to ancient Mesopotamia, THE HOBBY: TALES FROM THE tABLETOP is an affectionate, character-driven portrait of the massive and diverse subculture of board games. With a fascinating cast of charming subjects, including the “Roger Ebert of board games,” a rock-climbing board game philosopher, and a birdwatcher who created an unlikely smash hit, players share personal stories of competition, compulsion, creativity, and connection throughout the film. More than just a movie about board games, THE HOBBY explores the value of leisure time and uncovers the deep meaning found in “meaningless” pursuits.
