About Square Eyes: Tales from the Retro Game Culture of Sweden
Stories about retro gaming culture in Sweden. A subculture that consists of i.a. collectors, players, music creators and coders. Around Sweden, these people form social networks, large and small. The enthusiasts meet through e.g. fairs, associations, communities on the internet and classic LANs to exchange, play and discuss everything related to retro gaming. The retro game culture grows stronger every year and attracts both younger and older generations. Through personal stories, we follow enthusiasts who sacrificed time, money and much more of their lives to be part of this subculture.
Directed by Erik Sjölin, Square Eyes: Tales from the Retro Game Culture of Sweden leans on a strong ensemble — Kristofer Aspman, Owe Bergsten, Daavid Boström — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2015.
