A few weeks ago our birthday boy Leonard Pierce told you about a special program of Stanley Kubrick films running on England’s Channel 4 and gave you a look at this Shining-styled promo for the series. As it happens, that’s not the only new content developed for the series. There is a also an hour-long documentary called True Stories: Stanley Kubrick’s Boxes, in which Jon Ronson (author of Them: Adventures with Extremists and The Men Who Stare at Goats) digs through the Kubrick archives in hopes of gaining some insight into the most mystery-shrouded of filmmakers, as well as a series of 3-minute shorts dubbed “Stanley Kubrick’s Small Boxes.” And we’ve got them all for you after the jump: Think Kubrick is a montage of fans recounting their memories of the man’s work: Call Sheet reconstructs a production meeting based on a call sheet from Dr. Strangelove: SKA-63 is an animated collage of indelible images from the Kubrick collection: Overlook is a creepy trip through the haunted hotel from The Shining: And here’s the full-length Stanley Kubrick’s Boxes documentary: Related: The Kubrick Rarities Kubrick's Marketing Man Speaks
I just found out that the Kubrick box collection is being housed at my old college, which is a twenty minute bus ride from my house.
Looks like I'll be giving a couple of my old film tutors a call very soon....
