Saturday, April 28 at 2:00pm. Village Center. No registration required. Theatrical debut April 2, 1968. “2001” is perhaps the best-known of Stanley Kubrick’s films and is a story of evolution. Sometime in the distant past, someone or something nudged evolution by placing a monolith on Earth. Evolution then enabled humankind to reach the moon’s surface, where yet another monolith is found; one that signals the monolith placers that humankind has evolved that far. Now a race begins between computers (HAL) and human (Dr. Dave Bowman) to reach the monolith placers. The winner will achieve the next step in evolution, whatever that may be.

Sunday, April 29 at 4:00pm. Refreshments at 3:30pm. Village Center. No registration required. Star Trek recently celebrated its 50th anniversary and Beam Me Up traces the fascinating creation of the best-known science fiction franchise of all-time. The fast-paced, multimedia program explores how creator Gene Roddenberry first envisioned the original TV show as a western in space, and then steadily built a team of legendary actors, brilliant writers and clear-sighted directors who brought the original crew’s story to life across a TV series, animated children’s show and six feature films between 1966 and 1991. Sponsored by The Friends of the Larchmont Public Library.
