Sunday Stories: Kubrick and the Jewish Question

Stanley Kubrick’s movies explore not only the human condition, but his Jewish identity. Affecting both his films and his personal life, Kubrick’s Judaism was an inescapable part of his body of work. Join us for this Sunday Story as we journey through Kubrick's movies and uncover the Jewish context behind his most popular films.

Stanley Kubrick exerted complete artistic control over his projects; in doing so, he reconceived the genres in which he worked. The exhibition, which was on view at The CJM from June 2016–October 2016, covers the breadth of Kubrick’s achievements, beginning with his photographs for LOOK magazine taken in the 1940s, and continuing with his directorial achievements of the 1950s through the 1990s, and explores Napoleon and Aryan Papers, two projects that Kubrick never completed, and the technological advances developed by Kubrick and his team. This exhibition is organized by the Deutsches Filmmuseum, Frankfurt am Main, Christiane Kubrick and The Stanley Kubrick Archive at University of the Arts London.
