Fresh From My Tour of the Left Coast...
The book, Inventing the Movies, is a technological history of Hollywood, from Thomas Edison to Steve Jobs. It includes several stories about how Boston-area companies and people (such as Avid Technology and 'Tron' director Steven Lisberger) influenced the evolution of the movie industry.
I'm giving several talks locally, and if you're a cinephile, or you're interested in the ways that new ideas and new technologies are resisted by any established industry, I think you might appreciate the presentation. It includes lots of historical photos and movie clips. Here are the upcoming events:
- Thursday, October 23rd at the Chelmsford Public Library (free and open to anyone)... 7 PM
- Monday, November 3rd at MIT Sloan School (geared to MIT students)... High noon
- Wednesday, November 12th at the Boston Museum of Science (free and open to anyone)... 7 PM
- Update: Wednesday, December 10th at the Portsmouth Public Library in NH (free and open to anyone)... 5:30 PM
- Thursday, January 15th at the Concord Free Public Library (free and open to anyone)... 7:30 PM
- Wednesday, February 11th at the Boston Public Library in the Orientation Room (free and open to anyone)...6 PM.
