ENGLISH DOSSIER DE PRESSE Stanley Kubrick “If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed. A director is a kind of idea and taste machine ; a movie is a series of creative and technical decisions, and it‘s the director‘s job to make the right decisions as frequently as possible.” EDITORIAL Our flagship exhibition in 2011 is devoted to Stanley Kubrick (from 23 March to 31 July). It is the first time that La Cinémathèque française hosts a travelling exhibition not initiated by our teams but by those of another institution. This Kubrick exhibition owes its existence to the Deutsches Filmmuseum in Frankfurt and to Hans- Peter Reichmann, its Curator, who designed it in 2004 in close collaboration with Christiane Kubrick, Jan Harlan and The Stanley Kubrick Archive in London. Since 2004, the exhibition has opened with success in several cities: Berlin, Zurich, Gand, Rome and Melbourne, before coming to the Cinémathèque. The archives of Stanley Kubrick contain numerous and precious working documents: scenarios, correspondences, research documents, photos of film shoots, costumes and accessories. The exhibition, film after film, includes the unfinished projects: the Napoleon that Kubrick hoped to direct and his project for a film on the death camps, Aryan Papers . These materials allow us to get backstage and better understand the narrative and technical intentions of the director who was a demigod of world cinema, a secret and fascinating figure. The exhibition will be installed on two floors of the Frank Gehry building, on the 5 th and 7 th storeys, owing to the bulk of the materials exhibited, including large-scale models and interactive digital installations. The exhibition will be accompanied by a retrospective of Kubrick’s films, various publications, books, special issues of magazines devoted to the author of Dr Strangelove , Lolita and Full Metal Jacket , numerous lectures and debates. So it is the entire Cinémathèque française which, over several months, will be at the service of this director and his work, among the most important of the 20 th century. With Warner Bros., La Cinémathèque française is pleased to see the Cannes Film Festival making a fine gesture to mark the 40 th anniversary of the release of A Clockwork Orange by presenting the world preview of the film in its restored version. La Cinémathèque française wishes to give its very warm thanks to Christiane Kubrick, Jan Harlan and The Stanley Kubrick Archive. It also thanks Hans-Peter Reichmann and Tim Heptner, Curators of the exhibition, and the Deutsches Filmmuseum of Frankfurt. This exhibition is proposed with the kind collaboration of Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., Columbia Pictures Industries Inc., Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios Inc., Universal Studios Inc., and SK Films Archives LLC. Thanks to the sponsorship of Warner Bros. and Canal +. La Cinémathèque française also thanks its two great sponsors, Neuflize OBC and Groupama. It has also received the support of Kodak, the Fnac and the Regional Tourism Committee of Paris Île- de-France. The Stanley Kubrick exhibition media partners are: CinéCinéma, Dailymotion, Allociné, Les Inrockuptibles, Positif, Trois Couleurs, France Inter and Paris Match. Our very special thanks go to Iris Knobloch, President and CEO of Warner Bros. France, Olivier Snanoudj, Vice-President Distribution for Warner Bros. France, Michel Ciment and Eric Garandeau, President of the Centre national du cinéma et de l’image animée.

Entertainment Inc . “All you have to do is hear the name, or read it on a page, and a whole world opens up before your eyes. A vast, mysterious world, unlike any other in the history of cinema. (…) He expanded our idea of what is possible in movies. And I believe that in so doing, he actually expanded our consciousness of ourselves – the cruelties of which we’re capable of, the longing we feel for something unnameable, the forces that compel us to move in strange, troubling directions. (…) Kubrick was an artist of real vision, in every sense of that overused word, and this exhibit is a fitting tribute.” Martin Scorsese* “He created more than movies. He gave us complete environmental experiences that got more, not less, intense the more you watched them.” Steven Spielberg Inside the mind of a visionary filmmaker The Stanley Kubrick Exhibition exceptionally occupies two floors of La Cinémathèque française (5 th and 7 th ), covering an area of nearly 1,000 sq m. This exhibition was initially set up by the Deutsches Filmmuseum in Frankfurt in 2004, in close cooperation with Christiane Kubrick, Jan Harlan and The Stanley Kubrick Archive at the University of the Arts London. Hans-Peter Reichmann, Exhibitions Director of the Deutsches Filmmuseum, is the Curator. It has already had immense public success in several cities around the world: Berlin in 2005, Melbourne in 2006, Gand in 2006-2007, Zurich in 2007, and Rome in 2007-2008. The Stanley Kubrick Archive contains numerous and precious working documents : scenarios, correspondences, research documents, photos of film shoots, costumes and accessories (among them the survival-kit from Dr. Strangelove , the Starchild and the ape‘s costume from 2001: A Space Odyssey , costumes from Barry Lyndon…), as well as a very detailed documentation of his unfinished and cult projects, such as Napoleon (1968-1973). These documents are presented exclusively in this exhibition, which also retraces the first artistic steps of Stanley Kubrick, who started his career as a photographer for the American magazine Look in the 1940s. Dozens of prints, mostly unpublished, from the collection of the Library of Congress (Washington D.C.), prove that the very young Kubrick already had a solid grasp of visual composition. The exhibition offers us the opportunity to go backstage and to understand the technical inventions of Kubrick (the slit-scan, for example). The special effects are explained by large-scale models and interactive digital installations. A Clockwork Orange , Replicas of the Korova Milkbar Puppets © Deutsches Filminstitut, Frankfurt. In the preface of the official catalogue, Christiane Kubrick, Jan Harlan and Hans-Peter Reichmann evoke the origin of this exhibition and go back over the figure of Stanley Kubrick. EXTRACTS During the 43 years we were married, the question of what to do with the personal effects in case of one of us should die never arose. (…) The suggestion by the Deutsches Filmmuseum to mount an exhibition which after Frankfurt and Berlin might travel the world presented itself as an incentive to deal with the task and to honour Stanley at the same time. The aim was to chose items which best represent Stanley’s involvement in all aspects of film-making. (…) Christiane Kubrick* An actress of German origin, Christiane Kubrick married Stanley Kubrick in 1958. She played the German singer in Paths of Glory and produced paintings and sculptures for the sets of the films A Clockwork Orange and Eyes Wide Shut . The whole idea seemed strange at first. Exhibiting Stanley’s equipment, his plans, notes, photos? It did not feel right and would have been unthinkable during his lifetime, yet on careful reflection and discussion with Christiane Kubrick it became quite clear that while his privacy had to be guarded, his professional output was for all to be seen to celebrate the life of a great film maker. (…)Overcoming obstacles was part of his personality and one of the passions that spiced up his life. I am reminded of Jean Cocteau’s famous remark : ”I didn’t know that it was impossible, that’s why I did it.” That was Stanley’s approach too. So we undertook the impossible. We had a vast amount of material in many places in England and America, countless boxes full of notes, photographs, correspondence, scripts, reams of draft pages, plans, a huge library and a truckload full of equipment. All this would be meaningless in an exhibition unless we succeeded in making it relevant and could provoke enthusiasm in a visitor to watch Stanley’s films – again or for the first time. Jan Harlan* Assistant director in 1957 on the film Paths of Glory , Jan Harlan became the brother-in-law of Stanley Kubrick who married his sister Christiane Harlan and, from Barry Lyndon in 1975, was the executive producer of all his films. In 2001, he directed the documentary Stanley Kubrick, A Life in Pictures. There are many superlatives and they are readily repeated in attempts to explain Stanley Kubrick and his oeuvre. Only few of his contemporaries actually met him. Those who did meet him were often pushed to their limits, yet remain full of admiration. (…)Stanley Kubrick was selftaught, read widely, researched, and questioned everything. He developed plans only to abandon and redefine them according to his own unique and incomparable vision.

Hunter, and Elisa Pezzotta Ten years ago those immersed in researching the life and work of Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999) were gifted a unique opportunity for fresh insights into his films and production methods. In March 2007 the Kubrick Estate – supervised by his executive producer and brother-in-law, Jan Harlan – donated the director’s vast archive to the University of Arts London and instigated a new wave of scholarly study into the director. The Stanley Kubrick Archive comprises the accumulated material at Childwickbury, the Kubrick family home near St Albans, from which he largely worked and where he maintained a comprehensive record of his films’ production and marketing, collated and stored in boxes. The catalogue introduction online testifies to the sheer size of the Archive, which is stored on over 800 linear metres of shelving:1 The Archive includes draft and completed scripts, research materials such as books, magazines and location photographs.

Hunter† Elisa Pezzotta‡ Published: 4th December 2017 This special issue of Cinergie on the American director Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999) was inspired by a three- day conference, Stanley Kubrick: A Retrospective, held at De Montfort University, Leicester, UK in May 2016. The conference, convened by I.Q. Hunter and James Fenwick, brought together some of the leading Kubrick scholars to reflect on the methodological approaches taken towards Kubrick since the opening in 2007ofthe Stanley Kubrick Archive at the University of Arts London. The keynote speakers at the conference, Jan Harlan (Kubrick’s executive producer and brother-in-law), Robert Kolker, Nathan Abrams, and Peter Krämer, each discussed the various directions of study in the now vibrant field of Kubrick Studies. Harlan and Kolker took their audience on an aesthetic tour of Kubrick’s films,loc- ating his work firmly within the modernist tradition. Abrams, an expert in Jewish Studies as well asKubrick, decoded the Jewish influences on Kubrick as a New York intellectual with a Central European background. Krämer meanwhile focused on the production and industrial contexts of Kubrick’s career, explored a number of his unmade and abandoned projects, and situated his career as a director-producer working within and against the restrictions of the American film industry. These keynote addresses exemplified

He also suggested that had Kubrick survived into the 21st century he would not only have chosen TV as a medium to work in, he would also have contributed to the contemporary post-millennium zeitgeist of cinematic TV drama. There has been little news on the development of the project since and we are left to speculate how this cinematic spectacle eventually may (or may not) turn out on the “small screen”. Alison Castle’s monolithic edited collection of research and production material surrounding Napoleon4 gives some idea of the scale, ambition and problematic nature of re-purposing such a momen- tous project for television.

  • Kubrick by Kubrick (2020) Un Mosaico Di Materiali D'archivio Che Si Ritaglia Un Posto Nella Folta Schiera Di Ammiratori Del Maestro
    Kubrick By Kubrick (2020) Un mosaico di materiali d'archivio che si ritaglia un posto nella folta schiera di ammiratori del Maestro. Un film di Gregory Monro Genere Documentario durata 72 minuti. Produzione Polonia, Francia 2020. Un ritratto intimo e privato di Stanley Kubrick. Uno sguardo speciale sul mondo di un grande regista. Ascoltiamo una voce rimasta a lungo inedita. Raffaella Giancristofaro - www.mymovies.it Per circa vent'anni il critico cinematografico e giornalista parigino Michel Ciment, direttore della rivista specializzata "Positif", ha studiato il lavoro di Stanley Kubrick, intervistandolo più volte, in particolare su quattro dei suoi tredici lungometraggi: 'Arancia meccanica', 'Barry Lyndon', 'Shining' e 'Full Metal Jacket'. Le loro conversazioni, registrate su nastro, una volta trascritte hanno dato corpo a un autorevole volume monografico (edito in Italia da Milano Libri per la prima volta nel 1981, poi ripubblicato da Rizzoli nel 2007 in una versione ampliata). L'attore e sceneggiatore Gregory Monro (già autore di speciali su Calamity Jane, Jerry Lewis, Michel Legrand), riscoperti quegli audio, nel frattempo digitalizzati, ha colto l'opportunità per ridare letteralmente voce al regista e cucire attorno ad essa una nuova narrazione. In ossequioso atteggiamento verso Ciment e il suo privilegio di un dialogo prolungato con uno dei più enigmatici creatori di immagini, il film si offre come un mosaico di soli materiali d'archivio (estratti dai film, foto e interviste coeve). Dando per scontata la conoscenza dell'opera kubrickiana, con questa sintesi parziale Monro si ritaglia un posto nella folta schiera di ammiratori, collaboratori e studiosi (tra cui va nominato Filippo Ulivieri, creatore di archiviokubrick.it) che nei due decenni dalla morte del regista (1999) hanno ragionato sul suo opus.

Everybody from high ranking officials to school children was affected, be it through war game simulations or “duck and cover” public information films. Biographers have noted the affect on Kubrick. He considered emigrating to Australia so as to be out of the way should a nuclear war take place, but for a mixture of reasons eventually settled in England. He was especially prone to nuclear war fear because of his existing preoccupation with armed conflict.

  • The Dharma Blues
    Journal of Religion & Film Volume 6 Issue 1 April 2002 Article 6 April 2002 The Dharma Blues Robert Castle [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf Recommended Citation Castle, Robert (2002) "The Dharma Blues," Journal of Religion & Film: Vol. 6 : Iss. 1 , Article 6. Available at: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol6/iss1/6 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by DigitalCommons@UNO. It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Religion & Film by an authorized editor of DigitalCommons@UNO. For more information, please contact [email protected]. The Dharma Blues Abstract So much attention was given to the ratings controversy for Stanley Kubrick's film, Eyes Wide Shut, that a problem with the film for members of the Hindu faith was almost entirely ignored. So worried were people about the images of the infamous orgy scene at the Long Island Mansion, that they failed to notice that the music composed for that scene generated its own protest - enough protest to cause the film to be altered for its releases outside of the United States and for both video and DVD sales. The Hindu protest, however, might have positive, if unexpected, results. The protest revealed that the music included a shloka from the Bhagwad Gita, bringing public attention to this sacred text. But, once this shloka is identified, its connection ot the movie can be determined and, on artistic grounds, it seems that the shloka makes an important contribution to our understanding of the movie. This article is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol6/iss1/6 Castle: The Dharma Blues Stanley Kubrick's last movie, Eyes Wide Shut, generated a serious battle over its rating between Warner Brothers and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA).
