When the original STAR WARS exploded across movie screens in 1977, audiences were dazzled as never before by some of the most astounding visual and sound effects in cinema history: the iridescent glow and sudden zzzap! of Luke Skywalker's lightsaber, the adrenaline-stoked dogfights in space, the sound and fury of the Death Star's destruction. The two companies George Lucas created two years earlier to produce these wondrous effects - Industrial Light + Magic (ILM) and Skywalker Sound - would quickly grow to have a most revolutionary and profound impact on the way audiences see, hear and, most importantly, feel movies today. Join us for clip shows and conversations with the ILM & Skywalker Sound artists including ILM artists Patty Blau and Stefen Fangmeier and director James Cameron. Films to be discussed include JURASSIC PARK, THE ABYSS, STAR TREK: THE WRATH OF KHAN and many others. For a full list of appearances, please visit the Cinematheque Website. The February 6th George Lucas appearance is sold out.
