NYG 13 Virtua Fighter 5 FS Brooklyn, NY @ I Fix Machine
Aug 26 @ 2:00 pm – 11:00 pm

2018 promises to be a good year for VF due to the inclusion of FS in Yakuza 6, and the NYC / East Coast scene in particular with the return of Hayato’s arcade looking stronger than ever. Thanks to the efforts of the old-school arcade community at iFixMachine, VF will have a strong arcade representation at this year’s NYG. This includes a genuine arcade cabinet with Sega’s Lindbergh running VF5R and FS, along with head-to-head Versus City cabinets running VF4 Evo and Final Tuned, and potentially VF3 if the interest is high! The resources available to us at this year’s event are better than ever. This means we can offer a more exciting and fun environment for casual hanging out and playing, and we can also step up this year’s tournament to provide a competitive environment.

Keep checking this post as time goes on, we will be updating with more details over the coming days.

Event Schedules:
Friday, August 24 – Hanging out, casuals, side tournaments (games to be announced).
Saturday, August 25 – Final Showdown Tournament, Double Elimination
Sunday, August 26 – Hanging out, Runbacks and Revenge Exhibitions

The Tournament:
The tournament will take place on Saturday, August 25. The game will be Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown, and detailed rules can be found below. We will be offering prizes, and there will also be a pot bonus for the event. Additional information about prizes and scheduling will be coming soon.

MOCAFilms presents The Lost Arcade by Irene Kim Chin @ Museum of Chinese in America
May 23 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Blinking, beaming, and ringing, The Lost Arcade intimately memorializes the end of video arcades in New York City, while celebrating the camaraderie and history of a pop culture phenomenon. The film is an exceptional directorial debut that focuses on the Chinatown Fair, the Mott Street landmark where generations honed their craft, made friends and lost at tic-tac-toe to a chicken. Masterfully presenting the sights and sounds of a changing scene, wistful yet hopeful, and full of the faces and characters that radiate fun and innovation, The Lost Arcade is a dazzling portrait of technostalgia and a timely commentary on the corporate era’s incineration of modest businesses, and the resiliency of the dedicated enthusiasts.

Director/Producer Irene Chin will host a Q&A after screening.

Tickets are $15 and include wine and Museum admission. Members receive complimentary tickets. Not a Member? Join today!

Irene Chin is a filmmaker and writer originally from Alexandria, Virginia and Honolulu, Hawaii, and now lives in Brooklyn, New York. Her first short film as director/producer, The Bachelorette Party, premiered at the NewFilmmakers NY series at Anthology Film Archives. Her first documentary as writer/producer, The Lost Arcade, premiered at DOC NYC and went on to screen at the International Film Festival Rotterdam, Wexner Center for the Arts, Open City Docs London, Melbourne International Film Festival, Glasgow International Film Festival, IFFBoston. The New York Times called The Lost Arcade, “Part scrappy, part sweet, and wholly enjoyable…a love letter to a vanished piece of New York.” The New Yorker said the film was “raw and intimate.” Irene graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York.
