Everyone has seen a "Trumbull sequence" in Stanley Kubrick's 2001 A Space Odyssey, Ridley Scott's Blade Runner or Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Recognized and respected SFX maestro, he has also directed two full-length films which left their mark on sci-fi cinema. Today, at over 70, Trumbull-the-pioneer continues his quest for innovation and still dreams of a cinema which places spectators into the film. Trumbull Lands is an immersive portrait of Douglas Trumbull in his studios and a diving headfirst in his cinema. (Sitges Film Festival)

This short documentary film retraces the career of acclaimed artist Douglas Trumbull, director of the science fiction films Silent Running and Brainstorm as well as the creator of admirable special effects in such unforgettable pieces as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and many more. It also reports on Trumbull’s current efforts to develop new camera technologies, some revolutionary concepts for cinemas and his comeback plans as a film director, which he ended 35 years ago with his unfortunate experience while shooting Brainstorn. Gaspar Noé and Denis Villeneuve appear in the film among other interviewed creators. This was, for me, a useful and interesting excursion into the work of a true pioneer filmmaker, whom I’ve been lucky enough to meet in person. [Sitges 2018]
