IBMs Century of Innovation in Three Short Films
IBM is marking its 100th year as a company of innovators and inventions through a series of documentary films that chronicle the ways in which the company has changed the world through scientific and technology achievements and the IBMers who have been behind those breakthroughs. The first two films are done and are very well shot and put together. You can watch them below if you like. The third and final film is still being completed.
First Movie: 100 x 100
Second Movie: They Were There
The three films take the viewer on a series of journeys through IBMs past, present and future. The first film 100 x 100, features one hundred people who describe an IBM achievement that took place the year they were born. Joe Pytka, one of the most influential and prolific commercial directors, shot the 100 x 100 film. The second film, They Were There, shot by Oscar-winning documentary director Errol Morris with music by famed composer Philip Glass, examines the leaders and inventors behind some of IBMs most noteworthy contributions such as the invention of the UPC code, helping put a man on the moon and the launch of the first mainframe computer. The third film, Wild Ducks now being filmed by Oscar-winning Davis Guggenheim, director of An Inconvenient Truth and Waiting for Superman, seeks to capture the spirit of invention and risk that defines the character of IBM.
