Location: Mobius Media Center 281 4th Street, Ashland
The Ashland Spiritual Cinema Community (ASCC) is a collective of filmmakers
and movie enthusiasts in the Southern Oregon region, who, in association
with Hollywood producer and filmmaker Stephen Simon (What Dreams May Come,
Somewhere In Time, Indigo) and in support of his vision, come together to
celebrate , recognize, honor and promote the specific genre of Spiritual
Cinema and to participate in the active development, presentation and
discussion of this aspect of filmmaking and to further explore the positive
effects this kind of cinema can generate in our lives and in the world
around us. We encourage you to join us for an evening of conscious film
viewing and a lively and engaging discussion.
FILM:
This evening we will be screening director Stanley Kubrick's classic
"2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) starring Keir Dullea, William Sylvester and
Gary Lockwood.
2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY remains a masterpiece of filmmaking. Director and
(with Arthur C. Clarke) co-screenwriter Stanley Kubrick has created a visual
and aural spectacle that stands as one of the greatest achievements ever put
on celluloid. Hard to believe it's been over 35 years since the movie
premiered. The film begins with the "Dawn of Man" segment, about the
evolution of apes, and then ventures into the future, taking a look at what
the world might be like in the first year of the 21st century. Kubrick's
film is a triumph of technological storytelling, with stunning sets and a
brilliant, overwhelming soundtrack. Long dialogue-free scenes sparkle with
indelible images backed by powerful orchestral music, culminating in an
unforgettable, inscrutable tale of birth and rebirth, human evolution and
artificial intelligence, the past and the future.
Running Time: 2 hours 35 minutes (Bring a cushion)
A four-million-year-old black monolith is discovered on the moon, and the
government (while hiding the situation from the public) sends a team of
scientists on a fact-finding mission. Eighteen months later, another team is
sent to Jupiter in a ship controlled by the perfect HAL 9000 computer to
further investigate the giant object--but on this trip something goes
terribly wrong.
Production on the film lasted four years. The film was based on Arthur C.
Clarke's short story "The Sentinel." 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY was added to the
Library of Congress National Film Registry in 1991. Kubrick won an Oscar for
Best Effects/Special Visual Effects, the only Oscar win of his career.
