The Contenders 2013
The Museum of Modern Art - MoMA, New York
A selection of the innovative films made in the past 12 months. The project opens with two screenings of Duran Duran directed by David Lynch
Every year there are films that resonate far beyond a theatrical release -if they manage to find their way to a commercial screen at all- or film festival appearance. Their significance can be attributed to a variety of factors, from structure to subject matter to language, but these films are united in their lasting impact on the cinematic art form. For this recurring series, the Department of Film combs through major studio releases and the top film festivals in the world, selecting influential, innovative films made in the past 12 months that we believe will stand the test of time. Whether bound for awards glory or destined to become a cult classic, each of these films is a contender for lasting historical significance, and any true cinephile will want to catch them on the big screen. The Contenders 2013 opens on November 4 with two screenings of Duran Duran: Unstaged, directed by David Lynch. Duran Duran (Simon LeBon, John Taylor, Nick Rhodes, and Roger Taylor) will be present for a Q&A after the 7:30 screening, and will introduce the 8:00 screening.
