An exhibition featuring items from one of the world’s most influential filmmakers opens Friday at the TIFF Bell Lightbox.

The Stanley Kubrick exhibition gives a rare glimpse into the late director’s world that fans won’t want to overlook.

The exhibition has recognizable items like the original costume worn by Malcolm McDowell in A Clockwork Orange and iconic props from Full Metal Jacket and 2001: A Space Odyssey, just scratch the surface a lot of work .

A lot of work went into picking pieces that would express the essence of Kubrick. That’s fitting says Jesse Wente, the Director of Film Programmes at the TIFF Bell Lightbox:  “There are no accidents in Kubrick’s films, there are no mistakes. He intended everything and we didn’t want any mistakes or accidents in the show.”

Kubrick’s family opened up their archives for the exhibition which has been touring major cities across the world.

His widow Christiane says it’s thrilling to see how each country interprets her husband’s art:  “People who are most interested of course are young film students or people who have always liked his films and want to know how it was done.”

Every film has it’s own space complete with behind the scenes photographs and personal script copies complete with scribbles. It’s a chronological journey of Kubrick’s evolution including a room for the horror classic The Shining. every film has its own space.

That space has it’s own room 237 from the Overlook Hotel and a recreation of the memorable carpet too.

Kubrick’s brother-in-law and longtime producer Jan Harlan says he thinks it would please the filmmaker to see how his archival material has been used after his death:  “Now it serves definitely young people particularly to get an insight into how much work is involved, how much love and passion is involved to make a great film. It’s not easy.”

From Dr. Strangelove to Eyes Wide Shut,  this exhibition offers as much to the film fan as to the film student.  The Kubrick exhibition runs until January 25th.
