Please join us for a free screening of The Lost Arcade with Director/Producer Irene Chin who will be present for a Q&A at the end. The film is approximately one hour and 16 minutes long and premiered in 2016.

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.

From the The Lost Arcade website: “THE LOST ARCADE is the critically acclaimed documentary about the last hold out of old-school arcade culture in New York City. An intimate portrait of the passionate and exceptionally diverse community at the beloved Chinatown Fair, The Lost Arcade, chronicles the evolution of arcades, while celebrating the camaraderie and history of a pop culture phenomenon.

The Lost Arcade premiered at DOC NYC and the International Film Festival Rotterdam, and screened at Open City Docs London, Melbourne International Film Festival, Glasgow International Film Festival, IFFBoston, Sidewalk Film Festival, and the San Diego Asian Film Festival. Going on to a limited theatrical release at NYC’s Metrograph and San Francisco’s Roxie.

The film is produced by 26 Aries, in Association with IGN Entertainment and Wheelhouse Creative.

Edited, Produced, Directed by Kurt Vincent
Written and Produced by Irene Chin
Original Music by Gil Talmi
Executive Produced by Josh Zeman, Kyle Martin, Jason Orans.

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!
