What do the Chrysler Building, the Golden Gate Bridge, the film "Destination Moon" and America's space program all have in common? They were each touched by the creative vision of a forgotten artist named Chesley Bonestell (1888-1986). His mesmerizing depiction of "Saturn As Seen From Titan" became known as "the painting that launched a thousand careers." Told by the people who were influenced by or knew Chesley personally, and punctuated with rare interview footage of Chesley himself, this award-winning documentary chronicles the extraordinary, nine-decade life of a quiet, artistic visionary, whose beautiful paintings still inspire us to reach for the stars.
A Q&A will be held after the screening with filmmaker Douglass M. Stewart Jr. and the film’s co-editor Kristina Hays.
