The Screen is a Monolith (2018)

2001: A Space Odyssey, directed by Stanley Kubrick in 1968, some 50 years ago. It is one of the most influential movies ever made. Every sci-fi film since owes something to this vision. One of realism and based around a mastery of special effects which still produce wonder today.

Finding a rare VHS in an archive inspired a unique teaching moment for the 50th anniversary of 2001 A Space Odyssey. This “institutional marketing” video visualises the connection between two filmmakers who never met but shared a vision.
