The Problem with Kubrick: Power, Privilege and Exploitation in the Media Industries<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The films directed by Stanley Kubrick, such as The Shining, A Clockwork Orange, and 2001: A Space Odyssey, have been revered as cinematic masterpieces and Kubrick lauded as a genius artist. Yet, my own archive research indicates how Kubrick used his position as a powerful individual within the media industries to his advantage by trying to encourage global media conglomerates to subvert trade union regulations; by manipulating trade unions and politicians in a bid to change UK tax laws; by coercing his workers to overwork and encouraging them not to unionise; and by exploiting the women he hired or cast on his films or who he exclusively contracted to his production companies. These are issues that I have had to confront as a Kubrick fan over the past decade. This talk explores my ongoing research into Kubrick and how he can serve as a springboard to understand the wider historic and contemporary problems with the media industries, as well as the ways in which archival research can reframe understanding of the place of \u2018genius artists\u2019 like Kubrick in film history.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
