Sci-Fi FF: Brainstorm
One of the truly legendary figures in sci-fi/fantasy cinema, director Douglas Trumbull passed away in February 2022, leaving a legacy filled with frames of film that are genre-defining – 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968); Silent Running (1972); Close Encounters of The Third Kind (1977); Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979); Blade Runner (1982); The Tree of Life (2011).
