THE SHINING - Saturday, October 29 at 6 PM

STANLEY KUBRICK’S DEFT SYMPHONY OF TERROR, PRESENTED IN 4K

An alcoholic, out-of-work teacher takes a job as the wintertime caretaker of a snowy resort. He brings his wife and young son with him. He wants to get some writing done. Things take a very dark turn…

THE SHINING is Stanley Kubrick’s chilling symphony of deft manipulation: Wendy Carlos’s score alternating with Ligeti compositions, Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall’s push-and-pull performances, and the omniscient Steadicam taking the whole thing in. THE SHINING transcends any trappings of paperback adaptation or genre exercise to become one of the most elementally terrifying works of art of the twentieth century.

Come lose yourself in its marvelous madness on the big screen – where it forever belongs. This 4K presentation of THE SHINING has been meticulously remastered and restored, sourced from the film’s original camera negative.
