C5 presents: Cosmic Origins: The Birth & Rebirth of Sci-Fi | 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) | Thursday | April 30th 2026
Travel from the earliest dreams of space exploration to the infinite unknown with Cosmic Origins: The Birth & Rebirth of Sci-Fi, a cinematic journey through the foundations of science fiction on film. This special screening traces how filmmakers first imagined the cosmos—and how those visions evolved into bold, philosophical meditations on humanity’s place in the universe. We’ll begin with A Trip to the Moon (1902), Georges Méliès’ pioneering silent short that launched science fiction cinema with wonder, whimsy, and groundbreaking visual effects. The evening culminates with Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, a monumental work that redefined the genre through its stunning imagery, haunting score, and profound questions about evolution, technology, and the future of mankind. Strap in for an awe-inspiring night that celebrates the origins of cinematic sci-fi, the rebirth of the genre as high art, and the enduring power of film to imagine worlds beyond our own—on the big screen, where these visions truly belong. Doors open at 7, show starts at 7:30pm. Become an Ally member of the Brewery Arts Center and enjoy all the films we show for FREE! Join Today!
