Ada Byron Lovelace: the world’s first programmer


Award-winning documentarians John Füegi and Jo Francis, who are affiliated with the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities, will screen their latest work, followed by a question-and-answer session, Friday, Oct. 31, at IU Bloomington.

The film, To Dream Tomorrow, concerns the life and work of Ada Byron Lovelace, who is universally acknowledged to be the world’s first programmer.

Fuegi and Francis spent four years researching and producing the film, one of a series of films they call Women of Power. The screening and presentation will take place at 7 p.m. in Rawles Hall 100.

The two are the 1996 winners of the Documentary Feature Award of the International Documentary Association, and in 1993, the Prix Futura Award in Berlin and the Danish Television Oscar.

The event is sponsored by the IUB Department of Computer Science and the College of Arts and Sciences. It is free and open to the public.
