Many of us were raised in Chinatown and remember fondly about Chinatown Fair, and many of you remember it being on the other side of the street under the Port Arthur Restaurant. I myself, had a visited Chinatown fair many times having lived only mere blocks from Mott Street.

Blinking, beaming, and ringing, The Lost Arcade intimately memorializes the end of video arcades in New York City, while celebrating the camaraderie and history of a pop culture phenomenon. The film is an exceptional directorial debut that focuses on the Chinatown Fair, the Mott Street landmark where generations honed their craft, made friends and lost at tic-tac-toe to a chicken. Masterfully presenting the sights and sounds of a changing scene, wistful yet hopeful, and full of the faces and characters that radiate fun and innovation, The Lost Arcade is a dazzling portrait of technostalgia and a timely commentary on the corporate era’s incineration of modest businesses, and the resiliency of the dedicated enthusiasts.

Director/Producer Irene Chin will host a Q&A after screening.

Tickets are $15 and include wine and Museum admission. Members receive complimentary tickets. Not a Member? Join today!
