Producer/Co-Director Justin Strawhand tells BoingBoing, "The film includes interviews with an expansive list of video-game based artists and theorists, tied together into a historical overview of the movement, from the demo scene to chiptunes to machinima to artists who hand-code their own video games."
It sounds great. Link to website, screening details, poster art, pix, here's a trailer.
