Clarke\, and the Making of a Masterpiece\, about recently re-discovered early storyboard drawings for 2001: A Space O dyssey in the Museum's collection. The detailed drawings depict a pivotal scene from an early draft of the screenplay\, in which astronaut Frank Poo le leaves the Discovery in a space pod to conduct a repair on the ship’s e xterior\, with disastrous results. \n\nThe drawings date from the summer o f 1965\, and were made by Los Angeles-based production company Graphic Fil ms. The storyboards make evident the wide-ranging creative role played by Graphic Films\, which was originally commissioned by Kubrick to provide sc ientific advice and create concept art for the moon-landing sequence. At t he time\, the screenplay for 2001 was still evolving\, and HAL\, the artif icially intelligent antagonist whose actions were central to the story\, h ad yet to emerge as a character. Trumbull and Benson will discuss Graphic Films (Trumbull’s work with the company provided his entree to Stanley Kub rick)\; the development of the narrative of 2001\; and more. A video compi lation of the storyboard drawings will be presented during the event. \n\n  \; \; \n \n Please RSVP here.
