Screening
On Saturday, June 29th, at 7pm, join us at The Metropolitan Museum of Art for a screening of several prints from our collection, which are featured in the Museum's series "Short Films for Short Nights!"
With the advent of film came new ways of representing modern life. Join The Met’s Leonard A. Lauder Research Center for Modern Art for a three-part series featuring dozens of experimental short films made between 1909 and 1969 that collectively delve into the creative process. Program One, Images, explores two-dimensional surfaces through films that have been incised, painted, tinted, cut, or collaged; Program Two, Objects, features films about sculpture and inanimate figures; and Program Three, Collections, considers art and objects in museums, galleries, archives, and studios to think about the sites of culture cinematically.
Titles from the Film-Makers' Cooperative that are featured in this series include Mothlight (1963) by Stan Brakhage, Visual Variations on Noguchi (1945-46) by Marie Menken, Angel (1957) by Joseph Cornell and Rudy Burckhardt, and George Dumpson’s Place (1965) by Ed Emshwiller.
