Dir. Stanley Kubrick, 1968, 159 mins. 70mm print from Warner Bros. Classics. With Keir Dullea. As brilliantly engineered as the space program itself, Kubrick’s mysterious and profound epic—“the ultimate trip”—is about nothing less than the beauty and banality of civilization, blending cool satire, an elaborate vision of the future, and passages of avant-garde cinematic inventiveness.

Please note: Two additional screenings of 2001: A Space Odyssey have been added on Saturday, July 12, 7:00 p.m. and Sunday, July 13, 7:00 p.m.
