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.
