SILENT RUNNING + LIVE UNDERSCORE BY 65DAYSOFSTATIC

Silent Running

Douglas Trumbull’s innovative and influential sci-fi classic stars Bruce Dern as the sole crew member of a spaceship harbouring Earth’s last nature reserves. Accompanied only by three robots, he ponders the fate of humanity.

Trumbull provided special effects for 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY and went on to work on CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND and BLADE RUNNER. After being away from Hollywood for nearly 30 years he created the epic 22-minute birth of creation sequence for Terrence Malick’s Palme d’Or winner, TREE OF LIFE.
