From supercuts to mashups to remixes, Cut Up celebrates the practice of re-editing popular media to create new work, presenting contemporary videos by self-taught editors and emerging artists alongside landmarks of historic and genre-defining reappropriation.

Easy access to editing tools and distribution platforms now gives more people than ever before the opportunity to respond to the commercial products that shape our cultural dialogues. By plumbing a vast shared vocabulary of image and sound, audiences can express affiliation, criticize, or construct entirely new content using popular media as raw material. Re-edited videos are created and shared online daily by publics that spend increasing amounts of social time in front of networked screens. As the distinction between consumer and participant becomes ever more fluid, re-editing popular media has emerged as a common way of participating in a shared cultural conversation.

The exhibition presents a selection of short-form video works that take movies, music videos, television series, and news broadcasts as their source material, focusing on genres and techniques that have emerged online over the past decade and their on- and offline precedents.

LIVE EVENT Supercut Superstars SEPTEMBER 6, 6:30 P.M. Rich Juzwiak and Duncan Robson, creators of some of the Internet’s most celebrated supercuts, discuss their processes and philosophies.

6 In THE CHANGING EXHIBITIONS GALLERY PERSOL MAGNIFICENT OBSESSIONS: 30 stories of craftsmanship in film THROUGH November 11, 2013 Guest curator: Michael Connor

The third and final installation in a series of three exhibitions, PERSOL MAGNIFICENT OBSESSIONS: 30 stories of craftsmanship in film, uncovers ten powerful stories of obsessive workmanship within filmmaking. It offers a unique opportunity to view rarely seen artifacts from acclaimed films, as well as behind-the-scenes research notes, sketches, and materials used in the development process by some of the world’s best-known filmmakers.

Among the craftspeople featured are Johnny Depp, who undertook extensive research to prepare for his role as Hunter S. Thompson in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas; Theadora Van Runkle, who created detailed illustrations to design the distinctive costumes for Bonnie and Clyde and The Thomas Crown Affair; the legendary editor/sound designer Walter Murch, who revolutionized the use of sound in film in Apocalypse Now; and Jennifer Connelly, who started making her own clothes in preparation for her part as the aspiring fashion designer Marion in Requiem for a Dream.

The exhibition also looks at the work of director Ang Lee (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon); costume designers Eiko Ishioka (Bram Stoker’s Dracula) and Julie Weiss (Frida, Twelve Monkeys); cinematographer Sławomir Idziak (Three Colors: Blue); production designer Jeannine Oppewall (Catch Me If You Can), and director Spike Jonze / screenwriter Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich).

7 Howard Hawks was the quintessential Hollywood director, a master of many genres who moved easily between drama and comedy with a style that was always lucid, energetic, and direct. Hawks worked in relative anonymity until the 1950s and ‘60s, when auteurist critics discerned a directorial signature that gave depth and coherence to his extremely diverse films. In his influential book Howard Hawks (1968), Robin Wood wrote, “If I were asked to choose a film that would justify the existence of Hollywood, I think it would be Rio Bravo. Hawks is at his most completely personal and individual when his work is most firmly traditional: The more established the foundation, the freer he feels to be himself.”

Cinema is a medium of action, in which everything must be expressed on the surface, in concrete physical terms. In Hawks’s film, behavior is everything. An instinctive existentialist, Hawks depicts a universe where groups of men and women battle the abyss by sticking to a precise code of conduct and behavior, where professionalism under pressure is the ultimate virtue. No great Hollywood director has ever shown less interest in such institutions as government, family, and marriage. And Hawks displayed a healthy disregard for gender roles. “In the end, the traditionalist Hawks may be more modern than the modernists,” wrote Molly Haskell, “in perceiving that as a mutual adventure of equals, sexual union, like sexual antagonism, is a meeting not of subject and object, but of two self-determining subjects.”

Resolutely unpretentious, Hawks said, “I try to tell my story as simply as possible, with the camera at eye level.” His definition of a good director was “somebody who doesn’t annoy you.” Hawks left the theorizing to the critics, such as Eric Rohmer, who wrote in Cahiers du Cinema in 1953, “The best Westerns are those signed by a great name. I say this because I love film, because September 7–November 10, 2013 I believe it is not the fruit of chance, but of art and men’s genius, Organized by Chief Curator David Schwartz because I think one cannot really love any film if one does not really love the ones by Howard Hawks.”

Photographer Joseph O. Holmes, a chronicler of people and their work spaces, turned his attention in 2012 to the projection booth. This exhibition of more than 30 photographs featuring projec- tionists in their domains, at movie theaters in and around New York City, shines a light on what is quickly becoming a lost art form. Holmes captures the intricate beauty of the projectors and related ephemera such as canisters, reels, and the celluloid itself, scattered across the often cramped booths. Usually anonymous and unseen, the skilled technicians who operate these increas- ingly rare machines are present in many of the images; their personalities evident in the handwritten notes, personal photo- graphs, and posters that cover any available wall space. At a time when many lament the demise of film, these intimate portraits preserve a visual record of a vanishing medium and the crafts- people who keep film presentation alive.

“All my films function as a movement toward an unknown other and toward the unknown in relations between people,” said the French director Claire Denis, whose astonishing films investigate stories of displacement, while grounding viewers in the physical beauty of the landscape. There can be a stark, ominous beauty in her films, which are at once mysterious, precise, and breathtaking. On the occasion of her new film, Bastards, here is an opportunity to also see four of her greatest films, all in gorgeous 35mm prints. The prints of Chocolat and Trouble Every Day are brand new 35mm prints, released by The Film Desk. All films are also part of the series See It Big!

This exhibition traces the fascinating history of the Astoria Studio complex, which has been at the heart of filmmaking in New York City since 1920. The studio site was the East-Coast home of Paramount Pictures in the silent and early talking-picture eras, a center for independent filmmaking in the 1930s, and the U.S. Army Pictorial Center from World War II into the Cold War. After falling into disrepair in the early 1970s, the site has become a thriving cultural hub that includes Kaufman Astoria Studios and Museum of the Moving Image.

Using film stills, behind-the-scenes photographs, oral histories, film clips, and posters, the exhibition explores the rich legacy and renaissance of the studio complex. With material from silent-era films featuring Rudolph Valentino, early talking films starring the Marx Brothers, World War II training and propaganda films, such modern classics as The Age of Innocence, and television shows like Sesame Street, The Cosby Show, and Nurse Jackie, the exhibition reveals the significant role that the Astoria Studio continues to play in energizing its surrounding community and making moving image history.

Presented with support from Kaufman Astoria Studios. October 26, 2013–February 9, 2014

The Wes Anderson Collection (2013, Abrams), edited by Matt Zoller Seitz, is a lavishly illustrated and perceptively written new book about one of the most influential directors now working. Wes Anderson is known for the visual artistry, inimitable tone, and idiosyncratic characterizations that make each of his films— Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Darjeeling Limited, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and Moonrise Kingdom—so instantly recognizable. In celebration of the book, the Museum presents a day-long program, with a screening of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, followed by a panel discussion and a book signing. To cap off the day, there will be a screening of a restored 35mm print of Fellini’s 8½. The Fellini film was a clear influence on Anderson for The Life Aquatic. Both movies are about filmmakers, and were filmed at Cinecittà in Rome. Matt Zoller Seitz is the editor of rogerebert.com, and the television critic for New York magazine. In 2009, he created a five-part video essay, The Substance of Style, about Wes Anderson and his influences, published on Moving Image Source.

24 IN BEHIND THE SCREEN

THROUGH October 27, 2013

The highly acclaimed dramatic series Breaking Bad ends this Fall after five seasons on AMC. At the heart of the series is a truly remarkable performance by Bryan Cranston, who won three consecutive Emmy Awards for Best Actor for his portrayal of Walter White. A mild-mannered chemistry teacher, White learns that he has inoperable lung cancer, and begins producing the drug methamphetamine (“crystal meth”) to insure his family’s financial future. He becomes increasingly amoral and ruthless in his new persona, Heisenberg. Cranston’s startling transformation is explored in this exhibit, with costumes, props, selected video clips from the series, and behind-the-scenes footage.

25 In 1991, the renowned special effects makeup artist Dick Smith donated a unique collection of artifacts related to his work to Museum of the Moving Image. Smith transformed the art of special effects makeup, introducing techniques that set the standard for the field. Among his innovations was replacing the use of one-piece face masks in favor of applying foam latex prosthetics in small sections, a method that allows actors a greater range of facial expressions. Though widely known for creating realistic aging makeup, Smith also pioneered the combining of special effects makeup with other mechanical effects, such as the spinning head of the possessed Regan MacNeil character in The Exorcist (1973).

Now retired, Smith was a generous mentor to several generations of aspiring makeup artists, some of whom became leaders in the field themselves, such as Rick Baker, Greg Cannom, and Ve Neill.
