2001: A Space Odyssey, like many of Kubrick’s films, has been a constant source of inspiration for other filmmakers. Viewed from today’s perspective, almost the whole of 2001 can be seen as a collection of iconic images. Therefore, it does not come as a surprise that various artists feel compelled to play with these images or dissect its narrative. In 1985 Alexander “Olo” Sroczyński produced a short film 2013: A Space Odyssey utilising various movie techniques ranging from animation to traditional acting. The central protagonist, a lumberjack, is waiting for the birth of his child in a hospital corridor. On his way back home he meets a strange object and bizarre things start happening… 2013: A Space Odyssey plays with the visuals, deconstructs the original storyline and reconfigures established meanings as well as the filmic form. With its provocative and amusing approach, Sroczyński’s short provides the viewer with multilevel interpretative options. However, its parody-cum-pastiche-like approach ultimately becomes a homage to the ingenious director of the original film.
