Hideo Kojima and George Miller in Conversation

Hideo Kojima and George Miller in conversation | On cinema, interactive art and DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH.

Legendary video game creator Hideo Kojima (DEATH STRANDING, Metal Gear Solid) states in his social media bio that “70% of my body is made of movies”. So it’s no surprise that his remarkable video games are deeply cinematic and blur the lines between film and video games like no other. His latest creation DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH, releasing June 26th, looks to push the boundaries further in cinematic storytelling and interactive art. 

It’s only appropriate that Australia’s biggest celebration of cinema, Sydney Film Festival, hosts this world exclusive event, where Hideo Kojima will be in conversation with Australian cinema icon, collaborator, and one of his own personal heroes, George Miller (Mad Max franchise). This will be an unmissable conversation where they will discuss the fertile shared ground between cinema and video games, and the films that make up 70% of Hideo Kojima. Amongst the conversation will be discussions on George Miller himself featuring in DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH, and building Australia as the new game environment players will need to journey across to re-establish human connection.

This unique event will be a highlight stop during the DEATH STRANDING WORLD STRAND TOUR 2 to celebrate the launch of DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH on PlayStation®5.
