I did actually come looking for a reference to Lords of Synth, and I wish I could upvote this twice.

+1 Sisters with Transistors. I watched this in the dark at the Metrograph, a theater in the outskirts of Manhattan, with maybe six other people, and the experience was transcendental.

  It's a very good documentary.

I love that Adult Swim short for many reasons, but especially that blink-and-you'll-miss-it statement that trans women are, in fact, women.

"Sisters with Transistors" is a superb film. Before I watched it, the only one of the many extraordinary women presented therein that I knew of was Delia Derbyshire. I had no idea that the soundtrack to The Forbidden Planet (which may very well be the greatest Science Fiction film ever made), was by Louis and Bebe Barron on equipment they pretty much entirely built themselves. Today, we plug in a laptop, back then you were a true pioneer.

Anyone knows if this is a available for streaming? BTW, the catchy synth in the trailer is here: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=52f1ElmTy4o&feature=share https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=52f1ElmTy4o&feature=share Laurie Spiegel - Appalachian Grove I

    I was surprised to notice that Arte TV France has it (in VO). It is not available when the website language is set to English. Unsure if accessible outside France. https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/104017-000-A/sisters-with-transistors/ https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/104017-000-A/sisters-with-tran...
