The Brattle Theatre: Film & Events Calendar

Thursday, June 12 «Prev Next»

Repertory Series!
Tribute!

Sadly, so many great cinematic figures passed away in the first few months of 2008 that it would be impossible to do justice to all of them with retrospectives. Instead, we have gathered some of the greatest films that involve these fantastic film talents. First we celebrate Arthur C. Clarke with screenings of the immortal 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY and the not-so-immortal 2010 (which also features the often overlooked Roy Scheider). Following that, we memorialize Charlton Heston with another classic sci-fi tale from 1968, PLANET OF THE APES - in a brand new 35mm print! And finally, we celebrate two film noir icons, actor Richard Widmark and director Jules Dassin with four films - including the fantastic shot-on-location NIGHT AND THE CITY that the two made together. Please join the Brattle in paying final tribute to these stars of screen and page.

The Brattle is thrilled to present a special evening with Keir Dullea, the star of Kubrick's 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. An accomplished stage, film, and television actor, Dullea has worked with not only Kubrick but also such luminaries as Otto Preminger, Laurence Olivier, Robert De Niro, and of course, cult favorite Bob Clark (Black Christmas). His starring role in 2001 as astronaut Dave Bowman is his best known film work, but he also appeared in many unjustly overlooked films of the 60s and 70s including David and Lisa, The Fox, and Bunny Lake Is Missing. Mr. Dullea will discuss his varied career with a guest moderater to be announced.

One of the most enduring science fiction films of all time, 2001 was also recently selected as one of the most prescient by Popular Mechanics, not for the artificial intelligence (fortunately the HAL 9000 is still a ways off) but for the concepts of commercial space flight - depicted in the film as fantastically banal and commonplace. Long story short: when a mysterious alien monolith is discovered on Earth's moon, a team of astronauts and their trusty(?) computer companion are sent to Jupiter's moons to unlock its origins.
