Monolith

Monolith is the ultimate zeitgeist documentary. The definitive tribute to ‘2001: A Space Odyssey‘, it will reveal how Stanley Kubrick’s 1969 masterpiece not only predicted today’s technological age, but made it a reality.

At the documentary’s heart is a tale of two of the 20th century’s great visionaries – Stanley Kubrick and writer Arthur C. Clarke – and how their combined genius defied overwhelming obstacles and criticism to produce the ‘Best Film of All Time’ (Sight and Sound).

As we bring Kubrick and Clarke back to life with AI voice and film reconstructions, the pair will introduce 2001’s many complex themes – from the origin of man to alien life to AI – for our renowned cast of modern-day changemakers to examine. Scientists, thinkers and filmmakers alike, these luminaries will explain 2001’s extraordinary legacy and accredit the film for inspiring their own life’s work which transformed the world over the past 60 years – an astonishing revelation of life imitating art and science fiction becoming science fact.

For both young and old, Monolith will be a captivating archaeological adventure into cinema and conceptual thought. Moreover, like 2001, the documentary will stand as a profound spiritual exploration of what it means to be human and the wondrous potential that our future evolution holds.
