Let There Be Light: The Odyssey of "Dark Star" (1:56:45). This is a well produced retrospective that includes great interviews with many of the principal cast and crew, though John Carpenter is only present via some archival audio (there's a brief disclaimer at the end of the piece stating he declined to be a part of the documentary). The longstanding relationships between some of the participants is explored, as is Carpenter's contentious history at USC, where he won an Oscar for a short film he made but then got involved in a conflict with the University over who owned the rights to the film. The long, tortured production history of the film is documented, as is its ultimate purchase and distribution and its legacy. Producer Jack Harris offers some piquant commentary on the proceedings.
