IFC Films has picked up Sundance ’12 Stanley Kubrick doc Room 237, which Ryan Daley says “is insanely thought-provoking [and] is consistently entertaining.”

A world premiere in the festival’s New Frontier section, the experimental documentary directed by Rodney Ascher explores the numerous theories about the “real meaning” of Kubrick’s film The Shining. Deadline adds that the film will screen this Spring in the New Directors/New Film series in New York and Cannes is a likely bet to debut the film across the Atlantic.

IFC Films will roll out the film later this year via a theatrical/day and date VOD release.
