2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY IN 70MM

Opening our 70mm & WideScreen Fest is 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY in 70mm.

Widely considered among the greatest films of the 20th century, Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey redefined the limits of filmmaking and cemented his legacy as one of the most revolutionary and influential film directors of all time. Originally released on April 4, 1968, the film ignited the imaginations of critics and audiences alike and its impact continues to resonate to this day. This dazzling, Academy Award-winning achievement is a compelling drama of man vs. machine, a stunning meld of music and motion. Kubrick (who co-wrote the screenplay with Arthur C. Clarke) first visits our prehistoric ape-ancestry past, then leaps millennia into colonized space, and ultimately whisks astronaut Bowman (Keir Dullea) into uncharted space, perhaps even into immortality.
