2 3 3 THE MASTER, THE REBEL, AND THE ARTIST: THE FILMS OF OUSMANE SEMBÈNE, DJIBRIL DIOP MAMBÉTY, AND MOUSSA SENE ABSA April 2–10

Presented in collaboration with the Institute of African Studies, Columbia University

Guest curator: June Givanni

The Senegalese filmmakers Ousmane Sembène (1923–2007) and Djibril Diop Mambéty (1945–1998) pioneered cinematic creativity in Africa. Among the many filmmakers they inspired is Moussa Sene Absa (b. 1958), a protégé and former assistant of Mambéty’s.

All three directors give voice to the African people through their films: they were screen griots, and their work has much in common. In their films, women are portrayed centrally as agents of change and as risk takers, reflecting their true revolutionary role in Senegalese society. The directors also choose to focus on the “little people” of everyday life. A less central but nonetheless frequent impulse in their work is the recognition and embrace of a pan-African relationship to the continent and the diaspora, a tension between the homeland and the West.

The Fashion in Film Festival program Birds

Film of Paradise is an intoxicating exploration of

Institute) costume as a form of cinematic spectacle, exploring episodes in American and European film history that foreground costume, adornment, and styling as vehicles of sensuous pleasure and enchantment. Underground films by Kenneth Anger, Jack Smith, José Rodriguez-Soltero, Steven Arnold, and James Bidgood constitute one such episode. Their exquisitely decadent, highly stylized visions, full of lyrical fascination with jewelry, textures, luxurious fabrics, and makeup, evoke the opulence of “spectacle” and Orientalist films of the 1920s; dance and trick films of the 1890s and 1900s; and Hollywood exotica of the 1930s and 1940s. The program forges a link between the visual intensity of underground cinema and the dreamlike world of silent cinema. In their magical, sometimes phantasmagorical tableaux, costume and artifice are not merely on display. Instead, they dazzle, seduce, surprise, or dramatically metamorphose— they become a type of special effect.

Fashion in Film is an exhibition, research, and education project based at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, University of the Arts London. Birds of Paradise, Fashion in Film’s second collaboration with Museum of the Moving Image, was organized in partnership with Yale University, the Center for the Humanities, and the Graduate Center at the City University of New York.

The program was curated by Marketa Uhlirova, with assistance from Ronald Gregg, Stuart Comer, Eugenia Paulicelli, and Inga Fraser, and organized for Moving Image by Chief Curator David Schwartz.

Festival advisors: Serge Bromberg, Alistair O’Neill, Eric de Kuyper, Ronny Temme, Christel Tsilibaris, Marc Siegel. Supported by the British Council, the Italian Cultural Institute of New York, Film London, Arts Council England, and London College of Fashion. The season is part of the PMI2 Project funded by the UK Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) for the benefit of the United States and UK Higher Education Sectors.

20 21 Mildred Pierce MOTHER’S DAY, SUNDAY, MAY 8, 2:00 P.M.

Presented courtesy of Home Box Office

Dir. Todd Haynes. 2011. 330 mins. Digital projection. With one intermission. With Kate Winslet, Evan Rachel Wood. Todd Haynes’s adaptation of James Cain’s novel Mildred Pierce is one of the cinema events of the year. Although it was created as a five- part miniseries for HBO, it is an exquisitely detailed and visually ravishing film. This is a rare opportunity to see it in its entirety, on the big screen. The story of a housewife who leaves her unemployed, cheating husband and attempts to maintain her and her family’s social position during the Great Depression, Mildred Pierce has been fully reinvented by Haynes as a study of recent history and popular culture that reflects on contemporary life.

Jeanne Dielman: 23, Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles FRIDAY, MAY 6, 7:00 P.M. SATURDAY, MAY 7, 2:30 P.M.

“A feminist masterwork of minimalist constraint; a cinematic powerhouse of narrative innuendo: Chantal Akerman’s pièce de résistance.” —Todd Haynes

Dir. Chantal Akerman. 1975. 201 mins. Belgium/France. Restored 35mm print from Janus Films. With Delphine Seyrig. In a small apartment in Brussels lives Jeanne Dielman, a widow, mother, and prostitute whose existence is dominated by routine—the preparation of meals, the running of errands, visits from her clients, and evenings with her teenage son—until the cracks start to show. Chantal Akerman’s masterpiece is a singular blend of feminism, modernism, and the avant-garde whose hypnotic rhythms and rigorous attention to detail make for a riveting, unforgettable experience.

24 25 DOLLS VS. DICTATORS In the Video Screening Amphitheater Extended through May 15

This film and installation by Martha Colburn was commissioned for the Museum. Colburn is best known for her stop-motion animation, created using collage, puppetry, and paint- on-glass techniques. For Moving Image, Colburn has made a film based on her photographs of the Museum’s unparalleled collection of dolls, toys, and other licensed merchandise. The film, Dolls vs. Dictators, is projected continuously. Eight tableaus, each corresponding to a scene in the film, are also on view.

Made possible thanks to a gift from the Greenwall Foundation.

City Glow In the Lobby Through July 17

City Glow, by Japanese artist Chiho Aoshima in collaboration with animator Bruce Ferguson, receives its New York premiere at Moving Image. Using a style derived from traditional and pop sources (Japanese scroll paintings, manga, and anime), City Glow contains a cyclical narrative, which begins with the dawn of a paradisaical garden. Skyscrapers sprout during the day, and are overgrown at night by a landscape filled with ghosts and fairies. This is the first presentation of the work as a mural-scale panorama. Chiho Aoshima is a member of Takashi Murakami’s Kaikai Kiki Collective.
