[ELECTRON] GFT scratching my itch

[kisho khwa]

Hi all,

Now im excited awready by that idea of seasonal films...I would even book a train ticket from the highlands for it!
I would add good docs about 'second/third' world womens role in producing technology.....and the manual disposal/dumping of hazardous parts/environment. Switching track to the likes of delia derbyshire....

Good luck to everyone for the open day. i wish I could be there!
Nosheen ;-)

The record store Monorail regularly screen interesting music documentaries
and films etc at the GFT under the title "Monorail Film Club". A season of
"Electron Film" would be very cool, e.g.:

- Classic future-predicting & way off the mark sci-fi
- Science, electronics and computing documentaries and archive footage
- Camcorder footage of exciting electronical activities across the globe
  (e.g. 3rd world wifi and computing, hack labs and ham radio DX-peditions)
- Promotional films for computers from the 50s, 60s and 70s etc, e.g. from
  IBM and ICL etc (cute portrayals of the blinkenlights of yesteryear).
- Classic BBC programming, e.g. Tomorrow's World and Take Nobody's Word for
  It.

If well programmed it could serve to be inspirational, as well as a geek
fest and possible historical curio. TV these days lacks programs that
inspire people to go into science and engineering etc - far too much reality
TV and stuff of a similar ilk, which has a similar effect on the brain as
CJD.

Cheers,

Andrew
