2001: A Space Odyssey

Tue, Apr 5 | 7:30pm | DGT Selected by the Cinematographers Branch.

Stanley Kubrick’s groundbreaking space epic was one of the most influential films of its time, and a surprise counter-culture smash due to its psychedelic Stargate sequence. The film ushered in an era of ambitious and intelligent science-fiction cinema. While its visual effects set a new high standard (for which Kubrick received an Oscar), its eye-popping 70mm cinematography was an equal contributor to its visual grandeur, with Geoffrey Unsworth ( Cabaret ) serving as principal cinematographer and John Alcott ( Barry Lyndon ) shooting additional scenes including the "Dawn of Man" prologue.

DIRECTOR: Stanley Kubrick.

WRITTEN BY: Stanley Kubrick, Arthur C. Clarke. CAST: Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood, William Sylvester, Daniel Richter. 1968. 142 min. USA/UK. Color. Scope. English. 70mm.
