The Computer History Museum and CINEQUEST, Northern California’s premier motion picture institute, announced the Computers In Film Cinema Series to take place in the Hahn Auditorium. The series final screening will be: IPO (2003) -- This drama about the rise and fall of a San Francisco Mission District start-up takes in a range of citizens; the characters are everyone from an unbalanced homeless girl (Radha Lorca) to a ruthless exec (Kerry Gudjohnsen). All are involved in the creation of the initial public offering for Hot-Tot, a company that helps pick desirable genetic features ("We're in the peopling business"). Writer/director Daniel Gamburg shoots on digital beta but works hard to make the compositions cinematic, even by taking the production up to Tahoe. Visually the film works, and there are more than a few affecting performances. Directed by Daniel Gamburg. Featuring: Kerry Gudjohnsen; Matthew Gardner; Mark Rachel; Frank Torrano; Caridad Frutos. All guests will receive entrance into the Museum’s Visible Storage exhibit, where nearly 600 objects from the Museum’s Collection are on display. According to John Toole, executive director and CEO of the Computer History Museum, “We hope that the new program at the Museum will provide an exciting way for people not only to enjoy themselves, but will also launch a provocative and engaging discussion on how computers in film stimulate our imagination to create real world applications. It’s part of our vision at the Museum to explore the computing revolution and its impact on the human experience.
