ASTORIA, NY, December 22, 2010 ———Rochelle— Slovin, Director of Museum of the Moving Image, today announced the complete schedule for the screenings and programs that will celebrate the grand re-opening of America’s only museum dedicated to film, television, and digital media. The transformed Museum, which will open to the public on January 15, 2011, will include a new 267-seat theater, a 68-seat screening room, new galleries, and multiple screening spaces for video art. The entire six weeks of inaugural programs will be titled Celebrating the Moving Image, in honor of the Museum and of screen culture itself. Highlights of programs during the opening weeks include: • Jacques Tati’s Playtime and Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey presented in restored 70mm prints on the opening weekend, to show off the extraordinary experience of the new main theater • Marcel L’Herbier’s silent epic L’Argent in a restored print, presented with live music by the Mont Alto Orchestra in a reprise of their triumph at the Telluride Film Festival • the New York premiere of the restored print of John Ford’s Upstream, the long-lost 1927 feature recently rediscovered in New Zealand, with music by four musicians led by acclaimed accompanist Donald Sosin • the world premiere of a lustrous restored print of Robert Rossen’s The Hustler • a rare screening of Manoel de Oliveira’s five-hour masterpiece Doomed Love in a restored print • a virtually once-in-a-lifetime screening of avant-garde master Gregory Markopoulos’s Eniaios: Cycle Five , a section of the 80-hour-long epic film he made for projection at his open-air theater in Greece • the New York premieres of Kiran Rao’s Mumbai Diaries (Dhobi Ghat) and Hong Sang-soo’s HaHaHa in the new series Indian Cinema Showcase and Korean Cinema Now 35 Ave at 37 St Astoria, NY 11106 718 777 6800 movingimage.us • a special screening on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of an archival print of King: A Film Record…Montgomery to Memphis, the major documentary made for a one-night-only showing at 600 theaters nationwide in 1970 • the introduction of weekend family matinees, including Henry Selick’s Coraline presented in digital 3-D on January 17 and the Marx Brothers’ Duck Soup on January 15 • and special programs about television, exploring The Art of Televised Baseball, a Panorama of New York Public Access TV, and events with Diahann Carroll and Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara “The opening programs reflect the Museum’s wide scope of programming, encompassing silent films with live music, classic Hollywood cinema, avant-garde film, television, contemporary world cinema, and more,” said the Museum’s Chief Curator, David Schwartz. “Films will always be shown in the highest quality formats possible. We are opening with a series of restored films from archives around the world, and Celebrating the Moving Image will offer the public many unforgettable experiences.” Many of these programs will be presented in the new main theater—a cinema space unlike any other. Designed as a capsule for the imaginary voyage of movie-going, the ceiling and walls of the theater are a woven felt surface of vibrant Yves Klein blue, which slips under the stadium rake seating to give the audience a sensation of floating. Outfitted with an ample screen of classic proportions and projection equipment for formats from 16mm to 70mm and high-definition digital 3-D, the Museum’s new theater will provide an unsurpassed filmgoing experience. The screening room will also feature state-of-the-art equipment, and will serve as an intimate space for viewing films and digital media. The press preview for the museum is scheduled for January 11, at which time there will be opportunities to experience the new theaters and see the exhibitions and projections in the Museum’s new galleries: In its new Video Screening Amphitheater, the Museum will present a specially commissioned animated film, Dolls vs. Dictators, by New York-based artist Martha Colburn (who will also participate in the Signal to Noise party on January 15 with an analog VJ/live film loop performance). On the 50- foot-long projection wall in its completely redesigned new lobby, the Museum will show the video work City Glow , by artist Chiho Aoshima in collaboration with animator Bruce Ferguson. In its new gallery for changing exhibitions, the Museum will present Real Virtuality, six experiments in art and digital technology, including three Moving Image commissions (from Workspace Unlimited, OpenEnded Group and Pablo Valbuena ), the New York premiere installation of the experimental video game The Night Journey by Bill Viola, and the New York premiere museum installation of RMB City by Cao Fei. “There is going to be something for everyone during the opening celebrations for Museum of the Moving Image Page 2 Museum of the Moving Image,” Rochelle Slovin stated, “from connoisseurs of classic cinema to fans of video games and current TV, from children and their families to New York’s new-media artists. We welcome audiences from all around New York and all around the world to our transformed Museum, which has been so brilliantly designed by Thomas Leeser.” Support for Museum of the Moving Image The expansion and renovation of Museum of the Moving Image has received major support from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, New York City Economic Development Corporation, New York City Council, PlaNYC, Office of the Queens Borough President, New York State Dormitory Authority, New York State Council on the Arts, New York State Office of Parks Recreation and Historic Preservation, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and National Endowment for the Humanities.

RECOVERED TREASURES: GREAT FILMS FROM WORLD ARCHIVES January 15–February 20, 2011 The Museum’s breathtaking new main theater and intimate screening room are designed to transport viewers to another world.

Playtime Saturday, January 15, 1:00 pm 70mm print restored by a consortium of French archives Dir. Jacques Tati. 1967, 124 mins. Tati’s architectural and cinematic masterpiece sets the hapless Hulot adrift in a bustling yet sterile modern cityscape. Alienation has never been so spectacular or richly detailed; this was Tati’s only film in 70mm, the only format suitable for its rich pictorial detail. Tickets: $15 public (includes Museum admission) / Free for Museum members The Hustler Saturday, January 15, 2:00 pm Sunday, January 16, 2:00 pm World premiere of restored print by 20th Century Fox Dir. Robert Rossen. 1961, 134 mins. Paul Newman is Fast Eddie, the brash pool hustler who drifts through the film’s seedy nocturnal cityscapes until meeting his match in Jackie Gleason’s Minnesota Fats. Eugene Shuftan’s vibrant CinemaScope black-and-white photography has never looked better. 2001: A Space Odyssey Saturday, January 15, 4:00 pm New 70mm restored print by Warner Bros. Dir. Stanley Kubrick. 1968, 141 mins. As brilliantly engineered as the space program itself, Kubrick’s mysterious and profound epic, “the ultimate trip,” is about nothing less than the beauty and banality of civilization, blending cool satire, an elaborate vision of the future, and passages of avant-garde cinematic inventiveness. Tickets: $15 public (includes Museum admission) / Free for Museum members Magic, Music and Early Movies: Georges Méliès and Sxip Shirey Sunday, January 16, 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm Museum of the Moving Image Page 4 Archival prints from the British Film Institute, Lobster Films, FilmArchiv Austria, and the Museum of Modern Art.

    November 18, 2012—MoMA PS1, New York http://experimentallectures.org Comic Relief On Art, Film, and Television by Jamillah James Hi, can you guys hear me okay? Oh geez…it’s crowded… Stop laughing, okay so, I’m doing a presentation today called Comic Relief: On art, Film and Television, part autobiographical, part professional, and part, well you’ll see. Hi, I’m Jamillah James, age 32, and for all intents and purposes I’m a curator, this is typically how I look after 6 pm every day, except I’m usually wearing sweat pants. I can say with some confidence, seeing some familiar faces in the crowd, that barring going to some openings after work that this is what curators look like after six. CENTER for EXPERIMENTAL LECTURES http://experimentallectures.org 1 Alright, that’s me at age 23, and age 12, (don’t laugh) before I became a curator, I was a number of things, a musician, a concert organizer, a grocery store clerk, a wig tamer for drag queens, a lab rat for medical training, a seven year college student, the list goes on forever. Before all of these things I was a slightly overweight precocious only child growing up in New Jersey. This is me at 9 ½, and that’s my Mom. CENTER for EXPERIMENTAL LECTURES http://experimentallectures.org 2 Okay, as was the case for many children of the 80’s, especially for kids from working single households such as mine, I watched a lot of television. From ages 5 to 10, I would spend my afternoons at my babysitter’s house, an older woman that I lovingly called Grandma Anna who was a longtime neighbor of my actual grandmother, in the summer I was there all day, reading, eating, talking to myself, harassing my cousins and watching television.

  • This Lively Downtown Neighborhood Has Been a Center of Bohemian Lifestyle Since the Early 1900S
    This lively downtown neighborhood has been a center of bohemian lifestyle since the early 1900s. Home to jazz clubs in the 1920s, to 1960s hippy havens and 1980s punk rock clubs, the East Village has always had an edginess that the West Village (a.k.a. Greenwich Village) lacks. During Dutch colonial days, much of the East Village was farmland owned by Dutch colonial Governor Peter Stuyvesant. Its18th century pastoral setting gave way to 19th century wealth followed by 20th century bohemianism and is now a 21st century playland filled to the brim with bars, lounges, cheap restaurants and haute cuisine, boutiques, vintage shops and more. The most special thing about the East Village is free: the authenticity and energy you will feel when you stroll its streets. Be sure to check out our self-guided tour of Greenwich Village (West Village) as well as ​ ​ our full list of self-guided NYC tours. ​ ​ We recommend that you start this tour in Astor Place. Astor Place is located on the western boundary of the East Village. Use this Google map link for directions to Astor ​ Place. If you are considering purchasing a hop-on, hop-off bus ticket, most companies ​ offer stops in or just nearby Astor Place.
