The Parkway To Celebrate STANLEY KUBRICK's 90's Birthday With Retrospective Series
Maryland Film Festival / The Parkway:
Beginning July 26th, the SNF Parkway celebrates Stanley Kubrick’s would-be 90th birthday with a retrospective of the master filmmaker’s invaluable contributions to the history of cinema. The series will occur twice monthly and will showcase each of the director’s films in turn.
Very cool series, titled “Kubrick 90”, for the Baltimore locals, at the just as awesome Parkway Theatre (which if you haven’t been, is a beautiful theatre space!)
