Unhappy in sound films, she retired at age 28 in 1933. This program opens with the recently rediscovered Charlie Murray two-reeler The Pill Pounder ('23) with Bow in an early appearance. This screening features piano by MoMA's Ben Model, with an introduction and Q&A by film historians Model and Steve Massa. Registration required.

Film | The Leopard (1963) Directed by Luchino Visconti, Starring Burt Lancaster


As Garibaldi's troops begin the unification of Italy in the 1860s, an aristocratic Sicilian family grudgingly adapts to the sweeping social changes undermining their way of life. Proud but pragmatic Prince Don Fabrizio Salina allows his war hero nephew, Tancredi, to marry Angelica, the beautiful daughter of gauche, bourgeois Don Calogero, in order to maintain the family's accustomed level of comfort and political clout. Director: Luchino Visconti Cast: Burt Lancaster, Claudia Cardinale, Alain Delon, Paolo Stoppa, Rina Morelli, Romolo Valli, Serge Reggiani, Terence Hill Luchino Visconti was an Italian filmmaker, theatre and opera director, and screenwriter. He was one of the fathers of cinematic neorealism, but later moved towards luxurious, sweeping epics dealing with themes of beauty, decadence, death, and European history, especially the decay of the nobility and the bourgeoisie. Visconti received several notable accolades, including both the Palme d'Or and the Golden Lion. He was both an Oscar and BAFTA Award nominee. Many of his works are regarded as highly-influential to future generations of filmmakers, including Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese. Burt Lancaster was an American actor and film producer. Initially known for playing tough guys with a tender heart, he went on to achieve success with more complex and challenging roles over a 45-year career in films and television series. He was a four-time nominee for the Academy Award for Best Actor (winning once), and he also won two BAFTA Awards and one Golden Globe Award for Best Lead Actor. The American Film Institute ranks Lancaster as #19 of the greatest male stars of classic Hollywood cinema.

Film | White Noise (2020): Documentary on the Threat of White Supremacy Groups (online)


One week after the 2016 presidential election, white nationalists gathered in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the victory of President-elect Donald Trump. Addressing the crowd, the far-right leader Richard Spencer exclaimed, “Hail Trump! Hail our people!” to fanatical cheers and Nazi salutes. The Atlantic’s cameras captured exclusive footage of this moment, and the clip was shared widely on news networks and social-media platforms around the world. This film, The Atlantic’s first feature documentary and Daniel Lombroso’s feature film debut, is the result of a four-year commitment to expose the roots of rising white nationalism in the U.S. and abroad. The film is a deeply reported journey through the underbelly of the alt-right, bringing viewers an unfiltered, clear-eyed look at a powerful extremist movement. 94 min. Followed by a discussion with director Daniel Lombroso, Gavriel D. Rosenfeld, President of the Center for Jewish History and Professor of History at Fairfield University, and Anna Duensing, a historian specializing in evolving global politics of white supremacy across the twentieth century. They will discuss the ideas the alt-right has unleashed and how the movement has succeeded in infiltrating mainstream political discourse and shaping the direction of the United States.

Refuting the notion that the urban environment is inhospitable to organic life, this film documents a wide range of community gardens that have been established in each of New York City's five boroughs and which reflect the city's multicultural diversity. Carrying on the mission of the Urban Community Gardening Movement that sprang up informally in the 1970s, adult and young people alike have taken up spades and shovels to clear abandoned, rubble-strewn lots for flower and vegetable gardens. Cameras visit a "soul food garden," a penthouse arboretum, a playground erected from old tires, a circular garden designed by a modern-day "Adam" and "Eve," and a therapeutic rooftop retreat for recovering substance abusers. At the film's upbeat conclusion, urban tillers proudly display prizes won at the Annual Tenant Gardening Competition.
