8-Bit Generation
In 2011, two Italian filmmakers announced 8-Bit Generation, a stunningly-shot miniseries about the history of retro computing and gaming. Over 55 interviews were shot with a who’s who of tech legends, including a very rare interview with Commodore founder Jack Tramiel, who passed away in 2012.
Preorders were taken, the soundtrack released, and then? Nothing. The project and its creators disappeared, leaving nothing but questions and a bunch of angry fans. For the first time, one of the film’s producers talks publicly about what went wrong, the future of the project, and reveals exclusive, unreleased footage from the documentary.
Filmmaker and digital archivist Jason Scott will interview producer Bruno Grampa, flown from Milan to the XOXO stage.
