Indie Games: The Movie
Full $15 Concession $12 ACMI Members $11
23rd of August - 2nd of September
With the 21st century comes a new breed of struggling independent artist - the indie game designer. Refusing to toil for major developers, these innovators independently conceive, design and program their distinctly personal games in the hope that they might also find success. Following the making of the games Super Meat Boy, Fez and Braid, this Sundance award-winning film captures the tension and drama created by the developers' vulnerability and obsessive quest to express themselves through a 21st-century art form.
