2001: A Space Odyssey

Fans of GFT's authentic cinema experience will have the opportunity to see the ‘unrestored’ 70mm print of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was created by Christopher Nolan for the film’s 50th anniversary in 2018 with the goal of giving modern audiences the chance to experience the film as it would have been seen in 1968. When Dr Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea) and other astronauts are sent on a mysterious mission, their ship's computer system, HAL, begins to display increasingly strange behaviour, leading up to a tense showdown between man and machine that results in a mind-bending trek through space and time. The screening will be preceded by the short film ‘In Motion’ (Ross Woodhead 2024, 5mins). Shot in GFT’s projection booths, the film is a poetic celebration of the art and magic of projecting images onto a cinema screen. --------------- Year of Celebration: 2024 marks 85 years since our cinema (originally the Cosmo) was built, 50 years since GFT was founded and the 20th edition of Glasgow Film Festival. We are celebrating with a programme of special screenings taking place throughout May, showcasing films that have been hugely popular with audiences and have played a unique role in the history of GFT over the past five decades. Browse the Anniversary Programme at https://www.glasgowfilm.org/anniversary-programme Whilst our box office and bar sales only cover around 50% of our annual costs and help keep the film reels rolling, we rely on donations and fundraising to run our education and community activities. We need your help! Celebrate 50 years of GFT by donating £50 at checkout. A £50 donation secures your seat at our special January screening, find out more or donate via glasgowfilm.org/donate. Shape the next 50 years of independent film. Your contribution matters.Science FictionPT2H44MU2024-05-18
