To help the audience get the most from the screening, the film’s most memorable character, HAL 9000, will be onstage talking about the making of the film, the current state of artificial intelligence and the evolution of simple computers to self conscious beings. The performance is on Sunday, June 25, at 3 p.m. “2001: A Space Odyssey” was first announced in 1965 when the space race was in full steam as President John F. Kennedy set the nation’s sites on the moon. If Hollywood was to go to space, it had to be as real as possible. Stanley Kubrick partnered with the writer Arthur C. Clarke to craft a story that could withstand the march of progress. It was a process that involved NASA, IBM, TWA and more than 50 companies including hundreds of aeronau- tics specialists, astronomical artists and technicians. From iPads to Alexa, Space- X to Skype, almost every important technological advancement in the last 50 years was inspired — either indirectly or directly — by Kubrick’s film; while Kubrick used science as a blueprint to make the film, science used 2001 as a blueprint to make the world. Before the film, HAL 9000 will talk about the complex issues surrounding it. Watch the masterpiece on the big screen — the way it was meant to be seen.Followeing the film, HAL will be available for a Q&A.
