Museum Of The Moving Image Announces Full Lineup For “First Look 2024” Festival
The Museum of the Moving Image has announced the lineup for its First Look 2024 festival, showcasing groundbreaking cinema -- nonfiction and fiction.
What follow are days, nights, weeks, and seasons of wage labor, street encounters, misbehavior and loneliness, and the constancy of change, a theme underscored by a narrative that shifts, zigs, and zags, even incorporates archival footage made by artist Nelson Sullivan documenting New York’s queer and nightlife scenes of the 1980s. Georgian filmmakers Elene Asatiani and Soso Dumbadze construct an archival horror film about 1991’s bloody military coup d’état against the government of Zviad Gamsakhurdia, Georgia’s first democratically elected president, forgoing contextual titles, narration, or interviews. The same year that Alain Resnais’s masterpiece Hiroshima mon amour was released, science fiction writer and theorist Stanisław Lem began writing his influential novel Solaris, an artistic confluence that inspires this wholly original and emotionally resonant found footage film.
