Screening: A Clockwork Orange (1971)

www.cornerhouse.org for tickets; discounts for conference delegates
After forty years of controversy, Stanley Kubrick’s now classic adaptation of Anthony Burgess’s novel returns in all its glory to the big screen. Set in a warped futuristic Britain, charismatic delinquent and sociopath Alex is jailed and volunteers for an experimental aversion therapy developed by the government in an effort to solve society’s crime problem… but not all goes to plan. This is an incredibly rare opportunity to revisit Burgess and Kubrick’s possibly prescient vision of a violent dystopian future.
Lecture: Peter Kramer - Is it some devil that crawls inside of you?

An acknowledged expert on the history of cinema, Peter Kramer has written extensively on silent films, Buster Keaton, Hollywood and the Germans, Audrey Hepburn, Disney, Steven Spielberg, and Stanley Kubrick. He is the author of the recent book-length study A Clockwork Orange – Controversies and will speak with his characteristic erudition and infectious enthusiasm on Burgess, Kubrick and youth culture.
Screening: Vinyl (1965)

Featuring a collection of stars from New York’s The Factory studio, Vinyl was Andy Warhol’s earlier and much less well known adaptation of Anthony Burgess’s A Clockwork Orange. A fascinating companion piece to Stanley Kubrick’s now legendary take on the novel, this is an ultra rare screening of this uncompromising and experimental 16mm work.
