New
York, December 30, 2009—The Museum
of Modern Art, in collaboration with the Global Film Initiative
(GFI), presents Global Lens 2010, the seventh annual touring film
exhibition conceived to encourage filmmaking in countries with developing film
communities, in the Roy and
Niuta Titus Theaters at MoMA from January 14 through 29, 2010.The selection of eight programs, each from a
different country, includes films developed with seed money from GFI, and
represents a concise survey of contemporary filmmaking from areas where local
economic realities make such expensive and technology-driven endeavors a
challenge.Accomplished, entertaining,
and thought-provoking, the films are also deeply rooted in the social and
political realities of the countries where their talented and resourceful makers
live and set their stories.Global Lens 2010 is organized by Jytte Jensen, Curator, Department of Film, The Museum
of Modern Art.
