Arthur Gale Jewish Lives Series: David Mikics Stanley Kubrick

 

ARTHUR GALE JEWISH LIVES BIOGRAPHY SERIES: David Mikics

Stanley Kubrick: American Filmmaker

The Festival is thrilled to unveil a new series, the
Arthur Gale Jewish Lives Series, featuring books
from the Yale University Press Jewish Lives series.
David Mikics, author of Stanley Kubrick: American
Filmmaker, joins us for our inaugural event to
discuss the genius behind the films.

Stanley Kubrick grew up in the Bronx, a doctor’s
son. From a young age he was consumed by
photography, chess and, above all else, movies. He
was a self-taught filmmaker and self-proclaimed
outsider, and his films exist in a unique world
of their own outside the Hollywood mainstream.
Kubrick’s Jewishness played a crucial role in his
idea of himself as an outsider. Obsessed with
rebellion against authority, war and male violence,
Kubrick was himself a calm, coolly masterful creator
and a talkative, ever-curious polymath immersed in
friends and family.
