Stanley Kubrick’s elegiac, astonishing and timeless sci-fi film screens alongside our Kubrick course.

A dazzling, compelling drama of man vs. machine, 2001: A Space Odyssey is a stunning meld of music and motion.

This dazzling, compelling drama of man versus machine is a stunning meld of music and motion. Kubrick (who co-wrote the screenplay with Arthur C. Clarke) first visits mankind's prehistoric past, then leaps millennia (via one of the most mind-blowing jump cuts ever) into colonised space where the discovery of a monolith on the moon will send astronaut Bowman on an incredible, transcendent journey through time and space.

Screening to complement our Stanley Kubrick course on Saturday 18 July, alongside The Killing and A Clockwork Orange.
