Maya Deren's Legacy: Women
and Experimental Film
May 14-October 4, 2010
The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater Galleries
and Theaters 1 and 2
The legacy of Maya Deren,
considered America's first prominent avant-garde
filmmaker, film theorist, and visionary of
experimental cinema, is explored in the exhibition
Maya Deren's Legacy: Women and Experimental
Film, a five-month film series and video installation
in The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters and lobby
galleries, from May 14 through October 4,
2010. Deren's innovations—performing
in front of the camera, using semi-autobiographical
content, and meshing literary, psychological,
and ethnographic approaches with rigorous
technique—laid the groundwork for future
generations of experimental filmmakers, bridging
film, performance, and conceptual ideas. In
the 1940s and 1950s, Deren (b. Ukraine, 1917-1961)
was a pioneer of experimental cinema as an
art form, independent and distinct from Hollywood
production values or the dramatic narrative,
closer to the modernist and avant-garde art
practices of her generation. This exhibition
looks at Deren's legacy through her own work
and that of a trio of women directors upon
whom she had an indelible influence—Carolee
Schneemann, Barbara Hammer, and Su Friedrich.
It is organized by Sally Berger, Assistant
Curator, Department of Film, The Museum of
Modern Art.
Maya Deren's Legacy: Women and Experimental
Film coincides with the publication by MoMA
of Modern Women: Women Artists at The Museum
of Modern Art (June 2010), which includes
an essay by Ms. Berger that explores Deren's
aesthetic theories, her films, and her methods
of promotion and self-distribution. It also
includes interviews by Ms. Berger with Schneeman,
Hammer, and Friedrich, who discuss Deren's
impact on their work, revealing how Deren
helped to pave the way for future women to
enter the field of experimental cinema.

NOMAD Films launches new
exhibition of independent film to take place
during
Access & PARADOX Art Fair, October 2010.
Paris, France
The NOMAD Project will be
an exhibition of short films directed and/or
produced by independent filmmakers utilizing
innovative and exploratory ways of telling
a story. The aim of the exhibition is to share
with the contemporary art audience unique
ways in which filmmakers are adapting to the
stage of the global economy as well as shifts
in technology. The films can be narrative,
documentary or experimental, and should relate
to PARADOX’s unofficial theme “Nostalgia
for Nature”.
“The NOMAD Project
promotes a uniquely relevant alternative to
the actual production process. Access &
Paradox are excited to host such an exhibition;
the first of its kind in Europe and certainly
something we hope to see more of…"
says Emeric Glayse, Director of Programming
and Events at Paradox, and one of the fair’s
founders.
“Our partnership with
PARADOX creates an ideal opportunity for selected
filmmakers to share their work with a rather
diverse audience; we’re hoping this
first edition of The NOMAD Project sheds some
light on the many projects produced independently,
and encourages more creative and sustainable
filmmaking,” says Sarah Schutzki, Founder
and Co-Director of NOMAD Films and The NOMAD
Project.
The call for projects (CFP)
opened July 1, 2010, and submissions will
be accepted through August 31, 2010. For The
NOMAD Project application and guidelines please
visit www.nomadfilms.net, or contact Directors
Ari Allansson (ari@nomadfilms.net) or Sarah
Schutzki (sarah@nomadfilms.net).
About NOMAD Films
NOMAD Films was created
in an effort to expose innovative and experimental
forms of filmmaking, taking into account the
financial limitations within the independent
industry as well as continuously evolving
filmmaking technology. The goal of the exhibition(s)
is to create additional distribution outlets
within the arts. Distribution models for low-budget
independent films are not always substantial;
NOMAD Films brings to light a selection of
the many projects that have had little exposure
otherwise.
About PARADOX
PARADOX is an International
Contemporary Art Fair making its debut in
October 2010 in Paris, France. Partnering
with Access, Access & PARADOX will focus
on the exhibition and promotion of new, emerging
artists working in contemporary art. Although
the fair will debut in 2010 in Paris, there
are plans for future editions to take place
throughout Europe and the Americas as well.

MoMA's THIRD ANNUAL FILM
BENEFIT TO HONOR KATHRYN BIGELOW ON NOVEMBER
10
Career Retrospective of Bigelow's Films to
Follow in June 2011
The Museum of Modern
Art's third annual Film Benefit, to be held
on November 10, will honor writer-director
Kathryn Bigelow. Renowned for her Academy
Award-winning film The Hurt Locker (2008),
for over 30 years Bigelow has crafted a body
of films that defy genre and gender expectations
including such acclaimed works as Near Dark
(1987), Point Break (1991), and Strange Days
(1995).
As the first female director to garner directing
awards by the Academy, BAFTA, and the DGA,
Bigelow creates immersive movies that leave
the viewer simultaneously exhilarated and
affected, thinking, and feeling, while transforming
the language of genre films to serve her content.
Within the Museum's collection, a selection
of Bigelow's films are represented, including
Point Break, Blue Steel (1989), Near Dark,
The Loveless (1982), and The Set-Up (1978).
In June 2011, MoMA's Department of Film will
present a retrospective of Bigelow's entire
career with screenings of all of her feature
films. In conjunction with the retrospective,
the Museum has acquired Bigelow's paper archive
which documents all of her film projects from
The Set-Up to The Hurt Locker, from pre-production
research through production notes to post-release
publicity and press materials. The archive
contains both process and creative documentation
such as storyboards, scripts, filming schedules,
location scouting reports, and casting notes.
The collection also includes unrealized scripts
and other projects.
In addition to a reception and dinner, the
Film Benefit will be highlighted by a special
presentation recognizing Bigelow's acclaimed
directorial work. The event raises funds to
ensure that great works of cinema continue
to join the collection of The Museum of Modern
Art.
Tables to the Film Benefit are available for
$75,000, $50,000, and $25,000; individual
tickets are $5,000 and $2,500 per person.
Tables and individual tickets may be reserved
by calling 212-708-9680 or by visiting MoMA.org/filmbenefit2010.
