MoMA Announces Their Upcoming Film Schedule

On Line: Drawing and Film January 12-February 6
Held in conjunction with the gallery exhibition On Line: Drawing Through the Twentieth Century, this series presents films from MoMA's collection by artists whose work redefines the very parameters of drawing through an investigation of the line, both static and kinetic. From 19th-century animation to experimental film and computer-generated images, the films in this exhibition reveal the intersection between the world and the line, both as a visual element and a rich metaphor for life.

Global Lens 2011
January 13-28
The films presented in this annual collaboration between MoMA and the Global Film Initiative (GFI) are part of the touring film exhibition Global Lens, a project conceived to encourage filmmaking in countries with emerging film communities. This selection of nine programs represents a concise survey of contemporary filmmaking from areas where local economic realities make such expensive and technology-driven endeavors a challenge. Accomplished, entertaining, and thought-provoking, the films are also deeply rooted in the social and political realities of the countries in which their talented and resourceful makers live and set their stories.

Bernardo Bertolucci
Through January 12
In collaboration with Cinecittà Luce, Rome, MoMA presents a comprehensive 20-film retrospective of the work of Bernardo Bertolucci, featuring new prints with sound and color corrections overseen by cinematographers who have collaborated with Bertolucci in the past.

The Contenders 2010
Through January 22
For this recurring series, the Department of Film combs through major studio releases and the top film festivals in the world, selecting influential, innovative films made in the last twelve months that we believe will stand the test of time. Upcoming screenings include Lixin Fan's Last Train Home and a newly restored print of Rainer Werner Fassbinder's World on a Wire.

Weimar Cinema, 1919-1933: Daydreams and Nightmares
Through March 7
Organized in association with the Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Foundation in Wiesbaden and in cooperation with the Deutsche Kinemathek in Berlin, this exhibition-the most extensive ever mounted in the United States of German films made between the world wars-includes 75 feature-length films and 6 shorts, along with a gallery exhibition of Weimar-era film posters and stills. In addition to classic films by Fritz Lang, F. W. Murnau, and G. W. Pabst, among others, the exhibition includes many films, unseen for decades, that were restored after German reunification. A fully illustrated catalogue accompanies the exhibition.

An Auteurist History of Film
Ongoing
This ongoing screening cycle explores the evolution of film as a medium by charting the careers of several key directorial figures-not in order to establish a formal canon, but to develop one picture of cinematic history. Upcoming screenings focus on the work of Fritz Lang and Jean Renoir.
