Jacob Burns Film Center: Spielberg’s Sc-Fi: Close Encounters of the Third Kind
With revolutionary special visual effects by Douglas Trumbull (2001: A Space Odyssey), John Williams’ unforgettable score, and memorable performances by Dreyfuss, Garr, Dillon, Bob Balaban, and legendary film director Truffaut (The 400 Blows), Spielberg’s Close Encounters (first bite at the extraterrestrial world before E.T.) quickly established itself as one of the most popular films of all-time upon its release in late 1977.
