A Kubrick Film Festival
Independent, influential, and controversial. Three words that sum up film director and producer, Stanley Kubrick. Critics and fan alike are polarized about him — love his work, hate his work — everyone seems to have an opinion.
Kubrick started out as a still photographer for Look magazine, and later moved into documentaries, before beginning work on feature films.
His diverse body of work includes:
- 2001: A Space Odyssey
- Dr. Strangelove or: How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
- Barry Lyndon
- Lolita
- A Clockwork Orange
- The Shining
- Full Metal Jacket
- Eyes Wide Shut
- Spartacus
The Seattle International Film Festival presents Kubrick’s works in a 10-day film festival, beginning Friday August 24th. Dr. Strangelove has always been one of my favorite Kubrick films, and I think I may try to catch a couple that I haven’t seen.
Location: SIFF Cinema, McCaw Hall, 321 Mercer Street (map it), Seattle Center Campus
Dates & Times: Friday, August 24th – Thursday, September 6th. No screenings over Labor Day Weekend. Find the full schedule of screenings here.
Tickets: $7-10, available online, or at the box office (206)464-5830.
Ring in with your opinion on Kubrick’s films. Do you have a favorite? Love his work or hate his work?
