Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey starts 45th anniversary theatrical run Christmas Day

Tomorrow the IFC Center in New York City will start a 45th anniversary run of filmmaker Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, presenting a DCP projection from Christmas Day through Tuesday, January 7, 2014.

Kubrick and author Arthur C. Clarke’s sci-fi masterwork does nothing less than trace the arc of civilization, from prehistoric prehumans to space-traveling astronauts in the then-future of the titular year. With its unconventional structure and groundbreaking imagery, 2001 proved polarizing upon release but now widely ranks among the greatest of all films. On its 45th anniversary, this landmark head-trip remains as visionary and awe-inspiring as ever, demanding to be seen on the big screen.
