Coming Soon... we're presenting the rarely-screened debut film from iconic director John Carpenter; Dark Star (1974).
In the mid 21st Century, the scout ship Dark Star is on its deep space mission to blow up unstable planets for the forefront of future human settlement.
But there are obstacles that the crew did not count on - staying sane, an escaped alien roaming the ship, a malfunctioning computer system, and one of their planet-destroying AI bombs having an existential crisis.
The rarely-screened 1974 debut feature film from legendary director John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China), co-written by Dan O'Bannon (who would go on to write the screenplay for 1979's ALIEN), and featuring visual effects by Ron Cobb (who would later create the design of the DeLorean time machine in Back to the Future), Dark Star is a cult sci-fi comedy from the far reaches of the universe.
This screening is presented by Reel Spirit - a collaboration between the Spirit of Independence Film Festival and Reel Steel.
