What The Eye Sees Documentary Night - Indie Game: The Movie
-
Thu 22 November 2012 // 20:00
(Thu 22nd / 8pm / £5/4)
(Lisanne Pajot & James Swirsky / 2012 / Canada / 94 minutes)
This inspiring documentary explores the creative process involved in the development of 21st Century art in the form of independent computer games. It's the story of four passionate individuals and their fierce determination to express their individuality in a £25 billion industry notorious for churning out endless sequels and bland genre games. This is a moving, uplifting and very funny film,
and it is about people rather than technology - no prior knowledge of computer games is required, however, if you remember the days of games being developed by people in their bedrooms rather than huge corporations then this is very much for you!
"Indie Game: the Movie" follows the development of three games: Super Meat Boy, Braid and Fez. We'll have all three games available to play on the big screen.
