The Museum in partnership with Queens Theatre in the Park will present six of the greatest, must-see films of all time in Moving Image Masterpieces.
Citizen Kane kicks off the series on October 1. Wunderkind director Orson Welles made Hollywood his playground to make this astonishing debut film, an endlessly inventive portrait of an ambitious and lonely newspaper tycoon. Using multiple perspectives, the film questions the nature of identity; it also reinvents the way that stories can be told cinematically. The film regularly and rightfully winds up as the top-ranked film of all time on critics polls; every decade since 1962, it has been the top film in Sight and Sound magazine's prestigious poll, and it is the number one film on the American Film Institute's top-100 list.
Screening introduced by David Schwartz, Chief Curator of Museum of the Moving Image.
Note: This event takes place at Queens Theatre in the Park, located in Flushing Meadows Corona Park.
