The Shining: International Version + Garrett Brown and Michael Chaiken in person
When The Shining was first released in 1980, most critics were generally baffled or negative, unable to understand Stanley Kubrick’s visionary approach to the horror genre.

Join us for this rare opportunity to see the International Version on the big screen, preceded by a conversation with Steadicam inventor Garrett Brown and archivist Michael Chaiken.
Screening
The Shining
