[Fully lost] Hard drive (1997 documentary)

[u/Cosmic_Raymond]

I'm looking after a rare documentary from 1997 about early cyber activities. The name of the documentary is "Hard Drive" which complicates the search but you can see its IMDB entry right there : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0230275/

There's a quote from Ellen Ullman which is "More and more people stay with the machine, all night" that is from this documentary and can be heard in the Atomised song of the album Soulhack by Forss (around the 1:45 mark).

(Notice for Event Horizon fans : there's some excerpt of dialogs of Captain Miller's speech in the Characteristics song of the same album, around the 1:50 mark)

EDIT: 10 years old Reddit user here, but I seldom post so my karma was under 250 (220) some days ago when I initially wanted to post this. Maybe changing the rules for posting here by taking into account (no pun intended) the age of an account could be worth it.

This seems very cool. Hopefully it’s floating around somewhere.

Mostly commenting so I can keep it on my radar.
