Behind the Scenes of 2001: A Space Odyssey

Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey is arguably one of the greatest films ever made. IMHO it is still the best science fiction film of all time. I saw it several times in the original Cinerama format and have seen it in decent 70 mm. transfers several times since. It still holds up.

Here's an article about the film with several rare, behind-the-scenes photographs. I attended the Kubrick exhibition at TIFF Bell Lightbox a few years ago, and I don't remember seeing any of these, although there was a good selection of memorabilia from the film. Here's one from one of my favourite scenes in the film.
