The Space Invaders looks at classic arcade-game collectors, those guys who grew up playing Pac-Man (Namco) and Donkey Kong (Nintendo) in the early '80s and now devote large spaces inside their homes to preserving some of their fondest childhood memories. The film project began in 2007 and reached a checkpoint in 2012 in the form of a final cut. At CCA, you will see the ultimate version, trimmed down to 85 minutes.
