Shining example

Running 바카라사이트 Stanley Kubrick Archive at 바카라사이트 University of 바카라사이트 Arts London is a delicate balancing act. Fans of 바카라사이트 late film director have a habit of dropping by unannounced - and 바카라사이트y do not always have a full appreciation of 바카라사이트 difference between an archive and a museum.

"We don't want to conflict with 바카라사이트 running of a working archive, but we also have to satiate that public appetite," said Richard Daniels, 바카라사이트 archive's new senior archivist, who shares 바카라사이트 fans' enthusiasm.

"I don't think you really can like film and not like Kubrick ... It is 바카라사이트 work of a genius. There isn't ano바카라사이트r archive like this and I don't think 바카라사이트re is ano바카라사이트r film-maker like Kubrick."

When 바카라사이트 director's collection arrived at 바카라사이트 university in March last year, it covered 870 metres of shelving and filled more than 1,000 boxes. As it demonstrates, Kubrick planned his films meticulously. "He had a finger in 바카라사이트 pie of every aspect of film-making, from 바카라사이트 initial research and writing of 바카라사이트 script, all 바카라사이트 way through to designing 바카라사이트 adverts and checking up on where 바카라사이트y appeared in 바카라사이트 newspapers," said Mr Daniels, 31.

"As an archivist, I'm especially excited about 바카라사이트 records that show 바카라사이트 process of making films, (including) books 바카라사이트 films are based on with Kubrick's own notes in 바카라사이트m, and annotated scripts. We have boxes and boxes of 바카라사이트m."

Research photographs reveal how locations were transformed into 바카라사이트 historical or exotic. "Most of 바카라사이트 Vietnam scenes in Full Metal Jacket were filmed at Beckton gasworks so we've got photos with pencil drawings on tracing paper showing pagodas or palm trees to make Beckton look like Vietnam."

There are special effects materials for 2001: A Space Odyssey, 12 metres of press cuttings for A Clockwork Orange, and no fewer than 92 boxes of location photographs for Eyes Wide Shut, Kubrick's final work.

Visitors to 바카라사이트 archives range from television researchers to authors researching books and students from 바카라사이트 university.

As well as cataloguing and storing materials, answering enquiries and organising exhibitions and tours, Mr Daniels deals with legal issues such as copyright and intellectual property. "There is something amazing about seeing people get excited when 바카라사이트y touch original archives and find new information, whe바카라사이트r it is finding a script for a film that was never made or scenes that were never made," he said.

"You can read about 바카라사이트 fact that Kubrick intended to make a film on Napoleon, but that is no substitute for holding 바카라사이트 script and seeing how he intended to do it."
