The most comprehensive exhibition ever made about Stanley Kubrick, who opened new ground in the history of cinema as the creator of masterpieces, will be at the Istanbul Cinema Museum.

The exhibition will provide a chronological overview of all the works of the U.S. director Stanley Kubrick, who lived between 1928 and 1999, and will allow the audience to witness Kubrick’s extraordinary world up close.

Many of Kubrick’s unpublished documents, objects, screenplays, cameras, lenses and original costumes will provide an in-depth look at the artist’s film career.

The Stanley Kubrick exhibition is curated by the Istanbul Cinema Museum curator Zihni Tümer and German Film Museum curators Hans-Peter Reichmann and Tim Heptner.

With special effects, models and interactive spaces on the 3rd and 4th floors of the Istanbul Cinema Museum, specially designed for the exhibition, it will show the artist’s creativity in the context of space and cinema.
