Colleagues may be interested to know that on the 15th July More 4 will be airing Jon Ronson's documentary 'Stanley Kubrick's Boxes'. The film uses items from the Stanley Kubrick Archive to tell his story. The documentary is part of Channel 4's Kubrick Season which also includes a number of his early short documentaries and less well known early films. The season will be running from the 15th to the 25th July. Also as part of the Kubrick Season four '3 Minute Wonder' films will be aired, these were created by University of the Arts London students in response to the Archive. The broadcast dates for these are 14th - 17th July 13:05 More4, 14th July 11:50 Channel 4 and 15th - 17th July 11:55 Channel 4.

Please note these opportunities are for members of the public, unaffiliated with the Univesity of the Arts London. Staff and students of the University will have further opportunities to see the archives on future University open days which are held regularly.

Also to accompany the Channel 4's season The Sunday Telgraph have written a number of pieces which relate to or use archive items extensively. The first installment was published in the Home and Living magazine on Sunday 6th July and can be seen at: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2008/07/07/bfkubrick107.xml

There will be a further feature using archive materials in next Sunday Telegraph's 'Seven' magazine.

As I am sure you are all aware the archive also features as collection of the month on the Archives Hub:

These features are all part of a programme of events and publicity around the 80th anniversary of Kubrick's birth and the 40th anniverrsary of the release of his masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey.
