<http://isoc-ny.org/p2/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/eniac.png>*The
Computers <http://eniacprogrammers.org/documentary/>* is a 20 minute
documentary about the six women who, during World War 2, programmed - from
scratch - the first all-electronic computer, the ENIAC
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ENIAC>. By the time they were finished, ENIAC
ran a ballistics trajectory — a differential calculus equation — in
seconds. Yet when the ENIAC was unveiled to the press and the public in
1946, the women were never introduced; they remained invisible. Featuring
Movietone footage of the 1940s and never-before-seen interviews with the
ENIAC Programmers, *The Computers* is an inspiring story - lost for almost
70 years - about the founding of technologies we cannot live without — by
six incredible young women everyone should know.

After premiering at the Seattle International Film Festival
<http://www.siff.net/festival-2014/computers> on May 24, *The Computers* is
now enjoying its first theatrical run
<http://eniacprogrammers.org/documentary/screening/> at the *Landmark
Sunshine Cinema*
<http://www.landmarktheatres.com/new-york-city/sunshine-cinema> in NYC.

Wednesday June 3 2015, which will include a Q&A with Co-Producer *Kathy
Kleiman*. Further tickets will be available at the box office for $10 a pop.
