jess pretty - call and response
2024-06-26 19:00 - 2024-06-29 20:00 (America/New_York)
In call and response, jess pretty wraps her audience in a conceptual, and literal, embrace. Unfolding as a dance-based, experiential conversation – between pretty and her younger selves, her ancestors, and everybody else in the room – call and response is a kind of casual, yet devotional, soirèe or salon or kickback, with pretty as the host.
Within an environment of familiar (and familial) comforts – living room furniture, record player, books and plants; all of it bathed in continuous, deep blue light – call and response doles out laughter and music as soft (and generous) launching points for an experience of memory and reflection that is shared and felt as much as it is witnessed. It endeavors to slow down the room; and invites us to join in the attempt.
Choreographer / Performer: jess pretty. Creative Interlocutors: keyon gaskin & Niall Jones. Lighting Design / Tech Support / Set Design: Maggie Heath. DJ / Sound Practitioner: Tyler Hughley / DJ Luccihugh. Sound Consultant: Jeremy Touissaint-Baptiste.

Second Inning: An Evening with John DeMarsico, N.Y. Mets Game Director for SNY
2024-06-27 19:00
In honor of the most creative, entertaining, and innovative live sports show in the country, MoMI welcomes back John DeMarsico, New York Mets Game Director for nightly SNY broadcasts, for a brand new big-screen showcase of his cinematic inspirations. DeMarsico will debut an original short film that interpolates clips from some of his favorite movies with sequences from recent broadcasts. (Last year’s exclusive presentation included clips from Kill Bill, Once Upon a Time in the West, Carrie, and more.) It will be followed by a conversation moderated by Curator of Film Eric Hynes covering cinema and baseball; recent experiments and innovations in live sports production; working with a team that includes boothmates Keith Hernandez, Ron Darling, and Gary Cohen; and, inevitably, the current developments involving Queens’ hometown Mets.

New Material Night: a Standup Comedy show - Pride Edition!
2024-06-27 21:00 - 22:30
Every 2nd and 4th Thursday, comedian Lauren Hope Krass (Betches Media, HBO Women In Comedy Festival) and Dan Frank (New York Comedy Festival, PN&Friends) are bringing together New York’s funniest comics to test out their newest bits. Before a joke appears on a televised special or on an album, it lives a fascinating life of twists and turns. The rules are simple: Laugh if it's funny… And maybe politely fake laugh a little if it’s not because hey, trying new things is hard! This show is a favorite of Time Out New York and you just can’t bottle the infectious energy that erupts every single show. This is a guaranteed good time for a solo outing, date night or group hang. We of course also highly recommended this show to all our beloved Astoria comedy nerds. This is where the magic happens!
Come celebrate Pride with this lineup of all LGBTQ+ comedians! with

Screenings: 100 Years of Parajanov
2024-07-06 13:00 - 2024-07-26 18:00
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.
