SUMMARY:Eclipse Film Screening: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
DESCRIPTION:In 2001: A Space Odyssey\, director Stanley Kubrick redefined the limits of filmmaking. To begin his voyage into the future\, Kubrick visits our prehistoric ape-ancestry past\, then leaps millennia into colonized space\, and ultimately whisks astronaut Bowman into unchartered realms of space\, perhaps even into immortality. \nSet in a future that is already in the past\, this science fiction masterpiece envisions space travel as both hilariously routine and mind-bending\, a journey to the infinite and beyond that forever changed the way we see the universe and cinema itself. \nGet your tickets now to experience Kubrick’s surreal artistry as it glows anew in this stunning 4K restoration supervised by director Christopher Nolan (Oppenheimer\, Tenet\, Inception\, Interstellar). \nRunning Time: 2 hours\, 29 minutesRating: G \nThis screening is presented in partnership with the Arkansas Cinema Society. \n\n\nWatch the Trailer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
