Adelaide-funded films going to New York’s MoMA
The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York will host a festival of Adelaide Film Festival Investment fund films in April.
“BAFF has become major, not only through its judicious selection of films, but by the remarkable number of extraordinary works that the Festival has supported with production funds; The Adelaide Film Festival has, in effect, a ‘curatorial’ investment fund […] The track record of the works the Fund assisted has indeed been both distinguished and impressive,” said MoMA senior curator Laurence Kardish.
The program includes previous AFFI projects such as Look Both Ways, Ten Canoes, Samson & Delilah, Boxing Days, Last Ride, My Year Without Sex, as well as two 2011 premieres, the documentary Mrs. Carey’s Concert, and the short Stunt Love.
The screenings will take place from 7 to 13 April in New York. The 2011 BigPond Adelaide Film Festival will take place from 24 February to 6 March 2011.
Looking forward to STUNT LOVE, the tribute to J.P. McGowan, first Australian in the US movies (and before Hollywood) and his stunt-accomplishing lady Helen Holmes:
