Synopsis:

About a visual wizard and a fantastic legacy of films which transformed and influenced the science fiction genre as we know it. The Russian filmmaker, Pavel Klusjantsev, has had an extraordinary influence on an entire genre of films. Throughout his career at the film studio in St. Petersburg, Klushantsev pioneered and invented legendary techniques for filming the planets, stars and weightnessless - long before anyone else. He went on to redefine the science fiction genre and influence the way Hollywood made their science fiction films, including the Academy Award-winning Visual Effects Master, Robert Skotak, a man who spent years trying to track Klushantsev down. This is a film about a fantastic inventor and dreamer whose destiny was intimately linked with the Space Race and the whims of the Soviet dictatorship. However, despite dying blind and penniless, Klushantsev has left an indelible mark on the history of film and inspired countless filmmakers. The Star Dreamer ensures that the name of Pavel Klushantsev lives on.

With his work on such Cold War-era Soviet sci-fi films as Planeta Bur and Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women, Pavel Klushantsev left an indelible mark on the art of visual effects. This Danish documentary from the filmmaking team of Sonja Vesterholt and Mads Baastrup explores the life, career, and enduring impact of Klushantsev, who died in poverty in 1999. Along with archival footage of Klushantsev, The Star Dreamer features interviews with Academy Award-winning special effects artist Robert Skotak (Aliens, Terminator 2: Judgment Day), who credits Klushantsev with inspiring much of his critically-acclaimed work. Released under the title Stjernedrommeren in Denmark, The Star Dreamer received a special mention at the {~2003 Odense International Film Festival}.

Documentary about Russian science fiction filmmaker Pavel Klushantsev.
