Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (GB/US 1968) is a milestone in film history. Even before the first manned moon landing, this film used sophisticated trick technology to deliver fascinating, realistic-looking images of outer space. Many motifs became virtually iconographic for the science fiction genre, such as Space Station V orbiting in Earth's orbit to the strains of the Danube Waltz. The film, which had its world premiere on April 2, 1968, influenced generations of directors. Today, 2001 is considered a complete audiovisual experience and a film that revolutionized the genre. To mark the 50th anniversary of the first screening, the Deutsches Filmmuseum, Frankfurt am Main, is presenting a globally outstanding exhibition on Kubrick's cult film 2001 - with numerous original exhibits from international collections and from the Stanley Kubrick Archive at the University of the Arts London.
Kubrick's 2001. 50 Years of A Space Odyssey invites you, the visitor, to immerse yourself in the making of the film from 21 March to 23 September 2018. The exhibition features original designs, models, costumes, props, shooting schedules, production documents and photographs from Kubrick's archive. It answers the question of how Kubrick's vision of the future came about, and to what extent it came to pass. It also places the film in the context of its time and looks at the history of its reception: 2001 has left its mark in more than 200 films, in music videos and advertising, in design, painting, architecture and poetry. A separate section of the exhibition will feature works from a variety of art genres inspired by Kubrick's masterpiece.
