The Magna Carta of the Information Age arrived in 1948 in a blockbuster paper by Claude Shannon. It changed the world forever. His ideas ripple through such diverse fields as communication, linguistics, genetics, computing, cryptography, neuroscience, artificial intelligence and cosmology. But Shannon was also an accomplished juggler and unicyclist, a brilliant stock-picker and chess player, and a playful tinkerer who built a wearable computer to beat the roulette dealer in Las Vegas... and a flaming trumpet!

Join us for the San Francisco Premiere of THE BIT PLAYER, the first-ever full-length feature film about Shannon. Combining interviews with leading scientists, never-before-seen archival film footage, and compelling commentary from Shannon himself, THE BIT PLAYER tells the story of an overlooked genius who revolutionized the world, but never lost his childlike curiosity.
The Silicon Engineering Group at Intel is excited to have Mark A. Levinson, writer, producer and director of The Bit Player and the award-winning documentary Particle Fever join Jimmy Soni, author of A Mind At Play - How Claude Shannon Invented the Information Age, for a special post-movie panel, hosted by Jim Keller and Riva Tez (Silicon Engineering, Intel).
