Film Screening: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

A free outdoor screening of Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 sci-fi landmark, presented as part of the Community Cinema series at Jefferson Park. The film—a slow-burning meditation on evolution, technology, and human nature—runs 139 minutes and is rated G, with English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing available. It starts Tuesday evening, November 10, at 5:00 PM, so bring a blanket or chair and settle in before the sun goes down. The series regularly brings films to branches across Chicago, and this is one of the more ambitious titles on the fall slate.
