Reformat the Planet is a feature-length documentary that delves into the movement known as ChipTunes, a vibrant underground scene based around creating new, original hardware. Familiar devices such as the Nintendo Game Boy and Nintendo Entertainment System are pushed with startling results. Using New York as a microcosm for a larger global movement, Reformat the Planet maps out the genesis of the first annual Blip Festival, a four-day celebration of over 30 international artists exploring the untapped potential of low-bit video game consoles. With floor-stomping rhythms and fist-waving melodies, trailblazers of the ChipTune idiom descend upon Manhattan to pen a new chapter in the history of electronic music.
