After a highly successful Los Angeles run, REVOLUTION OS resumes its nationwide screening tour with its theatrical release in Silicon Valley. The LA Weekly states “The filmmaker also evinces a fine sense of framing, montage, color and pace; shot on 35mm, Revolution OS is aesthetically pleasing, briskly involving and, for a movie about tech theories, surprisingly charming.” Film Critic Kevin Thomas of The Los Angeles Times writes that REVOLUTION OS is “…witty…” with a “…brisk pace.”

Daily Variety calls the film a “…cheery, puckish concoction…targeted equally at the techno-illiterate and the savvy-hacker crowds.” Film Threat states that REVOLUTION OS is “Required Viewing.” TV Guide calls the film “…surprisingly exciting… unusually sharp looking…and something that even non-techies can enjoy.” Hollywood.com calls the widescreen, 35mm photography of the film “…striking.”

Shot in cinemascope on 35mm film in Silicon Valley, REVOLUTION OS depicts an unusual group of characters that are three-parts libertarian, two parts communist, and one-part bad garage band. REVOLUTION OS stars Linus Torvalds – the creator of Linux, and Richard Stallman – the ideological godfather of the movement, and features interviews with high-tech luminaries and commentators such as Bruce Perens, Eric Raymond, Brian Behlendorf, Michael Tiemann, Larry Augustin, Frank Hecker, and Rob Malda.

REVOLUTION OS is available on 35 mm and runs 85 minutes. For more information go to the website http://revolution-os.com/.
