In lectures, discussions and film contributions, international Kubrick experts will shed light on various aspects and discuss philosophy, fan cult and the latest findings on the "myth of Kubrick" with the audience. This is guaranteed to be a highly exciting affair for fans of the film and the director. A season ticket at the price of 35 euros (reduced 25 euros) is available at the box office and is valid for all film screenings and lectures of the symposium. The current special exhibition "Kubricks 2001: 50 Years of A SPACE ODYSSEY" will be open from 10am to 6pm on both days.
