To Save and Project: The 10th MoMA International Festival of Film Preservation
Through November 12
On the occasion of its 10th anniversary, To Save and Project, MoMA's international film preservation festival, welcomes J. Hoberman as guest curator. To Save and Project is a celebration of preserved masterworks and rediscoveries of world cinema. Virtually all of the prints in To Save and Project are having their New York premieres, and some are shown in versions never before seen in the United States. On October 12 and 13, the actress Anouk Aimée introduces Jacques Demy's Lola (1961) and George Cukor's Justine (1969), respectively. On October 16, Taylor Mead introduces the world premiere of Andy Warhol's San Diego Surf (1968/96).
50 Years of James Bond
Through October 31
In 1987, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the release of Dr. No (1962), producer Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli donated newly made 35mm prints of all 14 Broccoli-produced James Bond feature films to The Museum of Modern Art. With this extraordinary gift came a promise to provide MoMA with a new 35mm print of each subsequent Bond film. To date, this collection has grown to 22 films. In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Dr. No and the extraordinary open-ended donation from Albert R. Broccoli, Barbara Broccoli, and Michael G. Wilson, MoMA presents all 22 films in its James Bond collection.
