Thanks for describing this exhibition and talk. Since I cannot get to London to see it, this is the next best thing.

It is an hour-long popular science and history programme about the history of users' relationships with technical manuals - with a French flavour of course. John Alexander of DDS showed me the film last summer and I am in conversation with the producer. I hope to pursuade the ISTC Council to fund getting English subtitles and somehow have the rights to show the film in the UK during this year. I'll spread the word about progress on that as I make it.
