Malcolm McDowell, the notorious
Dr. Soran in "Star Trek Generations," first gained worldwide fame as the even more notorious Alex DeLarge in Stanley Kubrick's dark classic "A Clockwork Orange." Thirty years and a month after that film's initial release, McDowell will appear in-person to discuss his experiences with Kubrick in a tribute to the late great filmmaker.
The American Cinematheque will hold a screening of "Clockwork" on Saturday, January 12, at 5:00 p.m. at the Egyptian Theatre on Hollywood Blvd. in Los Angeles. McDowell will speak afterwards ("schedule permitting," according to the program). It's part of a tribute entitled "Grand Master: The Films of Stanley Kubrick" taking place January 11-19, which will screen most of Kubrick's films including "The Shining," "Spartacus" and "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb," along with a biographical documentary on Kubrick.

The American Cinematheque is a cultural arts organization that programs specialty film series at the Egyptian, a renovated Hollywood landmark. Other special events coming up include screenings of "The City of Lost Children" starring Ron Perlman (who was recently cast as "The Viceroy" in "Star Trek: Nemesis") on January 9; "Big Trouble in Little China" with Kim Cattrall ("Valeris" in "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country") on January 27; and "Cabaret" starring Joel Grey ("Caylem" in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Resistance") on February 8, each followed by discussions with the director or an actor.
