SYSTEM PREFERENCES - Anya Belkina (Boston, Massachusetts)
A fascinating animated documentary about the computer pioneer Bashir Rameyev, who sought to achieve something extraordinary during the heyday of the Soviet Union, in order to prove that he and his family were not so-called “enemies of the people”. The computer he invented was used to launch the satellite Sputnik into space and, as a consequence, spurred the development of Russian and American microelectronics. Once the USSR decided, in 1969, to curtail such computer research in favor of cloning American products, the loss of competitive innovation impacted the entire global community of computer users. 2012; 34 min.
