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: "Silent Running" and "Brainstorm". 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 Land" is an immersive portrait of Douglas Trumbull in his studios and a diving headfirst in his cinema.

De "2001, l'Odyssée de l'espace", en 1968, à "Tree of Life", en 2011, Douglas Trumbull est un maître des effets spéciaux visuels, l'un des précurseurs du cinéma immersif. Aujourd'hui, à plus de 75 ans, passionné par les développements des nouvelles technologies et de la réalité virtuelle, il poursuit ses recherches en véritable artisan.
