Game Documentary Hits Mod Art MuseumJustin Strawhand dropped me a line today to point out that his new documentary, 8 Bit: A Documentary about Art and Videogames, will be premiering in a few weeks at The Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan. 8 Bit includes interviews with an impressive list of video-game based artists who express themselves with everything from visual art to Gameboy music. The documentary also includes a history of the game art movement from the early days of the demo scene to chiptunes, machinima to artistic expression in modern games. It sounds pretty interesting. Make sure to hit the showing, which starts Oct. 7, if you're into this sorta gaming-meets-art stuff. www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3845&Itemid=2

Interview with 8 BIT's indie documentarianJustin Strawhand is the co-director, producer, and editor of 8 BIT, a new independant documentary about the burgeoning video game art and music scene. Our colleagues at sister-site DV Guru had a chance to talk with Strawhand about the project's inception, the production, and their plans to get the film shown. The film premiered at New York's Museum of Modern Art last Saturday but, lucky for you, they're having another screening tomorrow night at MoMA that doesn't appear to be sold out yet, you just have to buy your tickets at the museum. Can't make it? Strawhand says, "We're getting many many requests to show in art museums / universities as well, so whatever happens, I think that our film will have some legs and hopefully the people who want to see it will be able to." Yeah, we're hoping so too. If you have no chance of attending, but just want to get your hopes up, you can see the trailer here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=78mZVgLye5Q
