Ennio Morricone
To kick off the year, the Film Museum is dedicating a series to the most famous film composer – if not the most famous composer period – of the 20th century. In a career spanning over fifty years, Ennio Morricone (Rome, 1928-2020) produced 500 soundtracks for movies alone while remaining musically active in many other ways. His pleasure in creating never hindered his ingenuity.

Films You Cannot See Elsewhere
The Amos Vogel Atlas – Chapter 7: Continuity
In this chapter, we turn our focus to two of important curator and author Amos Vogel's very special passions. First, the subversive cinema of the 1960s and 1970s that came out of Eastern Europe or, more specifically: former Yugoslavia. Second, the diversity of culturally promoted French short films that mixed documentary, animated, and comedic modes. [...]Each Tuesday
