The Seafarers / Fear And Desire

Ottawa Premiere 4K Restorations of these two early, rarely screened Stanley Kubrick classics!

The Seafarers (29 min) plus Fear And Desire (62 min) will be presented together at regular Mayfair single ticket admission prices.

The Seafarers – Stanley Kubrick’s first film made in color, lost for over forty years. The documentary extols the benefits of membership to the Seafarers International Union.

Fear And Desire – After their airplane crashes behind enemy lines, four soldiers must survive and try to find a way back to their battalion. However, when they come across a local peasant girl, the horrors of war quickly become apparent.

“For fans, the allure is obvious—it’s a chance to uncover new snippets of creative genius” (Village Voice)

“thoughtful, often expressive and engrossing” (New York Times)

“Fear and Desire lays the groundwork for much of what is to follow in Kubrick’s remarkable career” (This Week In New York)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
