SUMMARY:Screenings: 100 Years of Parajanov
DESCRIPTION:Born in 1926 to Armenian parents in multicultural Tbilisi\, Georgia\, Sergei Parajanov was a filmmaker unlike any other\, a versatile genius with the moving image distinguished through atmospheric mise-en-scène\, sumptuous colors\, opulent settings\, and unforgettable imagery. Already a trained musician in violin and song before he attended Moscow’s prestigious VGIK (All-Union State Institute of Cinematography) at the age of 21\, Parajanov first broke through when he broke with the U.S.S.R.’s socialist realist doctrine with his seminal Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors (1964) and his crown-jewel The Color of Pomegranates (1968). Increasingly outspoken against the Soviet regime\, Parajanov would see many of his scripts rejected by state authorities\, and he would be arrested and imprisoned several times over the subsequent decades\, though his international esteem grew to the level of myth. Parajanov passed away in July 1990. “With the death of Sergei Parajanov cinema lost one of its magicians\,” wrote Federico Fellini. MoMI is proud to present a selection of the greatest works of this revolutionary artist and humanist on the occasion of his centenary.

SUMMARY:Conversation with Miljohn Ruperto and Paul Pfeiffer
DESCRIPTION:Join artist and author Miljohn Ruperto for a presentation in the style of a “guide” to his new booklet edition\, An Operational Account of Western Spatio-Temporality\, followed by a conversation with artist Paul Pfeiffer. \nAn Operational Account of Western Spatio-Temporality comprises three flipbooks and an accordion-fold booklet. The booklet presents an essay that examines three forms of time as philosophized by the Ancient Greeks—aion\, chronos\, and kairos—to map the boundaries of and discern the influences of Western spatio-temporality. The essay serves as a guiding narrative to help readers identify the source or essence of Western subjectivity. \nEach of Ruperto’s flipbooks depicts a disembodied head in movement. “The Baroque Is a Geometric Imposition Upon Wild Nature” features the head of Medusa; “History Awaits Immanence\,” the head of John the Baptist; and “Western Temporalities Incline Towards a Tripartite Structure\,” a triface image of Christ. Each of these figures is drawn from classical art historical references. \nAn Operational Account of Western Spatio-Temporality was designed by artist\, designer\, and independent curator Margaret Tedesco and published by X Projects. Purchase the booklet via X Projects now. Copies will be available on site at SculptureCenter during the event. \nMiljohn Ruperto lives and works in Los Angeles. Ruperto is interested in developing approaches to interrogating and expanding our conception of nature and history: e.g. historiography\, the history of nature\, and the nature of nature. \nPaul Pfeiffer lives and works in New York. Known for his highly sophisticated use of digital technologies and new media\, Pfeiffer edits iconic images or found footage of sporting events\, concerts\, or Hollywood films to explore our culture’s obsession with spectacle and uncover its hidden psychological cost.

SUMMARY:From the Margins: The Trans Film Image
DESCRIPTION:In their new book Corpses\, Fools\, and Monsters: The History and Future of Transness in Cinema\, critics Caden Mark Gardner and Willow Catelyn Maclay examine how trans themes and trans people have evolved on screen over the past 60-plus years. In this new screening series at MoMI\, Gardner and Maclay have programmed a selection of films that speak to the breadth of expression of their analysis\, including films from artists as wide-ranging as American auteur Robert Altman\, European iconoclasts Rosa von Praunheim and Alain Berliner\, and groundbreaking contemporary American-Filipino trans filmmaker Isabel Sandoval. On July 13\, Gardner will appear in person to introduce screenings and for a post-screening book signing; Sandoval will also appear in person for a Q&A with Gardner following a screening of Lingua Franca.

SUMMARY:The Search for Utopia - Opening Reception -Slovakian/American Art Exhibition - July 13\, 6pm
DESCRIPTION:OPENING RECEPTION – DATE CHANGE: We've received word that artwork from Slovakian artists for our exhibition\, The Search for Utopia\, is stuck in customs! Due to this unexpected delay\, the exhibition's opening reception has been moved from Thursday\, July 11 to Saturday\, July 13\, 6-9pm. \nWe will still be offering the same wonderful experience we always do with bites and refreshments\, this time alongside our LIVE! outdoor music. \nBe sure to arrive early at 3PM for an ARTISTS TALK in our theater and a chance to meet and chat with the artists from the exhibition! The opening reception will follow. \nThe Search for Utopia explores the contemporary definition of 'Utopia' – is it a future to aspire towards\, yet to be discovered\, or a nostalgic quest for something lost? This art exhibition transcends borders\, uniting the creative voices of Slovakian and American artists. Showcasing a diverse collection of dynamic works across various mediums\, it offers viewers a profound insight into each artist's unique perspective and cultural heritage. Featuring contributions from four Slovakian artists and four American artists\, each piece acts as a catalyst for introspection\, encouraging viewers to reconsider the concept of utopia in our increasingly interconnected and diverse world. \nCurated by Tess Howsam and Soňa Jakubove \, the exhibition reflects an international collaboration between arts and cultural institutions\, Culture Lab LIC and Malý Berlín . \nCulture Lab LIC\n5-25 46th Avenue\, Long Island City\, New York\, NY 11101 \nhttps://www.culturelablic.org/current-exhibitions

SUMMARY:John Ford's The Searchers in 70mm
DESCRIPTION:To kick off it's annual summer 70mm film festival\, Museum of the Moving Image presents John Ford's enduring 1956 masterpiece "The Searchers." The film will be showing 7 times from July 18–July 21.  \nDir. John Ford. 1956\, 119 mins. U.S. New 70mm print from a restoration by Warner Bros in collaboration with The Film Foundation. With John Wayne\, Jeffrey Hunter\, Vera Miles\, Ward Bond\, Natalie Wood. Martin Scorsese has claimed that he watches this film\, arguably western master Ford’s greatest achievement\, every year\, and with good reason. Its epic story sweeps from the American Southwest to the Canadian border as it tracks Wayne’s increasingly unhinged quest for his beloved niece\, kidnapped by Chief Scar in a raid years before. Wayne’s Ethan Edwards is as neurotically obsessed as DeNiro’s Travis Bickle. Thanks to this staggering new restoration\, screening here in a newly struck 70mm print\, scanned from the original 35mm VistaVision camera negative and approved by The Film Foundation\, making its East Coast big-screen debut\, The Searchers has never looked more richly beautiful. \nTickets: $20 ($15 for MoMI members).

SUMMARY:QED Spotlight: Matt Storrs and Tristan Miller
DESCRIPTION:QED Astoria is spotlighting two brilliant comedians\, Matt Storrs and Tristan Miller\, in July! Venture to QED on Thursday\, July 18th at 7:30pm and be transported to prehistoric lands and the Upper Midwest as the two comedians present solo shows in a comedy double-feature! \nABOUT THE TWO SHOWS \nJurassic Heartbreak \nBy Matt Storrs \nMatt Storrs has never loved anything more than his first love: dinosaurs. After romantic rejection in elementary school\, Matt copes by starting a movement to advocate for his favorite dinosaur and get the governor of Arizona recalled. \nYears later\, after another failed romantic connection\, a trip to the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show puts Matt face to face with the illegal fossil trade. Matt unearths new knowledge that makes him question his first love.  \nWill newfound knowledge allow him to forgive and find lasting love? You won’t have to wait 65 million years to find out.  \n  \nLeast Likely to Succeed: Tales from a Midwestern Homeschooler \nBy Tristan Miller \nNew York-based comedian Tristan Miller makes light of their experience growing up in the Midwest as a homeschooler.  \nIn Least Likely to Succeed\, Tristan discusses growing up in the Midwest\, their trip to New Zealand\, teaching\, being homeschooled\, and shares a grab bag of characters and impressions.  \n  \nABOUT THE TWO COMEDIANS \nMatt Storrs\nMatt Storrs (Edinburgh Fringe Festival and SF Sketchfest) is a comedian and storyteller based out of NYC and originally from Phoenix\, AZ. Matt created and performed two one-person shows “Portly Lutheran Know-It-All” about his time attending a religious middle school and “Jurassic Heartbreak” about his lifelong love of dinosaurs. He has also been featured on NPR. Matt brings his legal background to the stage with his sharp stories and esoteric comedy. Matt Storrs is a humor person. \nTristan Miller\nTristan Miller is an award-winning actor\, writer\, and comedian who has been featured in The Midwinter Madness and Laughing Devil Festivals\, along with The Minnesota and Kansas City Fringe Festivals. Tristan uses their sardonic wit and goofy midwestern sensibilities to lighten many heavier topics\, such as mental health\, religion\, identity\, and American politics.

SUMMARY:Screening: Black Rio! Black Power!
DESCRIPTION:This fascinating documentary explores the transformative power of soul music in 1970s Rio de Janeiro\, where dance events became crucial spaces for the political affirmation and resistance of the young black community. Through the lens of the Black Rio Movement\, the film highlights the role of music in the struggle for racial equality during Brazil’s military dictatorship and traces its enduring influence on genres like hip–hop and funk. It also examines the movement’s legacy on Black pride\, aesthetic values\, and the ongoing fight for racial justice\, as seen through the experiences of movement leaders like Dom Filó and the impact on subsequent generations. (Dir. Emilio Domingos. 2023\, 70 mins. Brazil. DCP. In Portuguese with English subtitles.) \nCo-presented by Brasil Summerfest\, as part of Las Premieres\, co-presented by Cinema Tropical. \nFeaturing an introduction by DJ and musicologist Greg Caz. \nTickets: $15 with discounts for seniors\, students\, and youth.

SUMMARY:Jacques Tati's Playtime in 70mm
DESCRIPTION:Dir. Jacques Tati. 1967\, 115 mins. France. 70mm. With Jacques Tati\, Barbara Dennek\, Rita Maiden. Tati’s artistic ambitions knew no bounds—for this bank-breaking comic masterpiece\, he built Tativille\, a sprawling set that was virtually an entire city. The iconic M. Hulot arrives in this ultramodern metropolis and stumbles through its many architectural absurdities. Playtime is wall-to-wall with brilliantly choreographed jokes and astonishing compositions; Tati crams so many sight gags into each frame that they’re impossible to catch on the small screen.  \nPart of the Museum's annual summer 70mm film festival\, See It Big: 70mm. Tickets are $20.

SUMMARY:BALLET FOLKLÓRICO MEXICANO DE NUEVA YORK’S GUELAGUETZA
DESCRIPTION:It’s Ballet Folklórico Mexicano de Nueva York (BFMNY)’s Annual Guelaguetza Festival and that’s something to celebrate! The term guelaguetza is a Zapotec word meaning “offering” or also “reciprocal exchange of gifts and services” and we’re excited to take part. \nThis summer celebration originated in Oaxaca City\, Mexico\, where representatives of the eight regions of Oaxaca gather together wearing traditional costumes to dance\, sing\, and give gifts to the crowd; creating strong bonds between the different regions. Each region offers a unique contribution to the festivities — like the much-loved “Dance of the Pineapple!” \nBFMNY is dedicated to preserving the culture and traditions of Mexico\, not only with the beauty of Mexican folkloric dance and music\, but also building strong bridges toward a more culturally diverse society.
