2021: A Space Odyssey is a 2-minute 3D sci-fi animation, a conceptual trailer that references Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. This version comes from the filmmaker’s own interpretation of Kubrick’s work. Part of this interpretation derives from his understanding of the Buddhist concept defined by a Chinese character that involves ways of perceiving, understanding, and knowing that are specific to Buddhist teachings. The filmmaker updates Kubrick’s film and creates a new character, Vincent, who explores the Monolith and the truth behind it. But what lies beyond the truth?
