the extraordinary pioneer of special effects
will be in Lyon

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5th, 2018

A distinguished guest to attend the screening of 2001: A Space Odyssey at the Auditorium of Lyon: Douglas Trumbull.

A pioneer of special effects in the 1970s, Douglas Trumbull has ever since become a legend. Although he is best known for his work on 2001: A Space Odyssey - where he set up the slit-scan technique for psychedelic animations - his mastery did not stop with Kubrick's work. He also directed two science fiction films and oversaw the visual effects of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Blade Runner. His talent has been recognized with an Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award for accomplishments over his entire career.

Douglas Trumbull will be on hand for 2001: A Space Odyssey, screened in a new 70mm print on Tuesday, October 16 at 7pm at the Auditorium of Lyon.

In addition to presenting 2001: A Space Odyssey in 70mm, the festival will screen Trumbull Land, a documentary on Douglas Trumbull by Grégory Wallet, produced by Vivement Lundi! Festivalgoers will have a unique opportunity to look back on his career through an extensive interview  ahead of the documentary’s broadcast on TCM Cinéma.
