The Harwood Museum in collaboration with Emerging Cinema presents:

STEVE JOBS: THE LOST INTERVIEW
A documentary film directed by Paul Sen
USA - 70 mins - NR
Magnolia Pictures

In 1995, during the making of his TV series Triumph of the Nerds about the birth of the personal computer, Bob Cringely did a memorable hour-long interview with Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, who died last October. The film was shot 10 years after Jobs had left Apple following a bruising struggle with John Sculley, the CEO he brought into Apple. At the time of the interview Jobs was running NeXT, the niche computer company he had founded after leaving Apple and would later sell to his old company, enabling Jobs return to his Apple roots.

During the interview, Jobs was at his charismatic best – witty, outspoken and visionary – already anticipating the digital future that one day he would do so much to make possible. In the end, only a part of the interview was used in the series and the rest was thought lost. But recently a VHS copy was found in the series director’s garage. Cleaned up with modern technology and put into context by Cringely, this is a unique and very candid interview that reveals as never before the burning passion of Steve Jobs, a passion that would go on to give us the iMac, the iPod, iPhone and iPad.

As he says in the interview, Jobs took the best and spread it around “so that everybody grows up with better things.”

"The only talking head people would pay to watch for more than an hour.
– Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times

"For someone known to loathe in-depth interviews, Jobs seems surprisingly eager here to expound on his technological philosophies and business strategies... There’s something raw and inspiring about the Jobs we see here, the anxious dreamer on the brink of greatness."
– Steven James Snyder, Time

Tickets are $8 for Alliance Members; $10 for Non-Members, and are available at the Admission's Desk or calling 575=758-9826 to reserve tickets in advance.
