Canadian Front 2007
March 14–19, 2007
Eight New York premieres highlight this fourth annual survey of new and recent features made in Canada. This year, four of the eight films are made by women from Eastern Canada, three of whom—Sophie Deraspe (Looking for Victor Pellerin), Sarah Polley (Away from Her), and Gariné Torossian (Stone, Time, Touch)—are represented by their first feature films, and one of whom, Catherine Martin, appears at MoMA for the first time with her second feature, Dans les villes. The West is represented by another debut filmmaker, Bojan Bodruzic (Immigrant), originally from Bosnia, and Gary Burns and Jim Brown, who observe suburban development across North America in Radiant City. Charles Biname and Martin Lavut present compelling biographies of two notable Canadians, Maurice Richard and Arthur Lipsett, respectively. Canadian Front 2007 is marked by strong first features, extraordinary performances, and quirky and exciting interpretations of truth.
Organized by Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator, Department of Film, and presented in cooperation with Telefilm Canada. Special thanks to Brigitte Hubmann, International Festival Specialist. Canadian Front 2007 is presented with the support of the Canadian consulate general, New York.

Valie Export: Innovator
March 3–5, 2007
Valie Export has had a highly influential career, producing innovative work in a range of mediums—including film, video, installation, performance, photography, sculpture, and computer animation—for over forty years. After graduating from Vienna's Technical School for Textile Industry in 1964, she was determined to create a new identity, and changed her name as an aesthetic, social, and political act. Her early performance-based projects were feminist in nature and were intended to provoke social change and overturn prevailing attitudes toward women. She used her body as a medium, challenging erotic hypocrisy as she perceived and codified information and countered the horrifying political realities of the recent past. Later she developed the more personal conceptual vocabulary that has characterized her work ever since. This retrospective includes footage of Export's early Touch Cinema, which was performed on the streets of ten European cities from 1968 to 1971. For these performances, Export built a tiny "movie theater" around her naked chest—which was not visible but could be touched by anyone who reached through the curtained front—and invited people to "visit the cinema." All works are directed by Valie Export and from the Museum's collection.
Organized by Barbara London, Associate Curator, Department of Media.
