The "MoMA New York Film Collection" exhibition will be held at the National Film Center of the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, in collaboration with the Tokyo International Film Festival and the Community Cinema Center, from October 24th.
The Museum of Modern Art, New York, commonly known as MoMA, established its film department in 1935 and has been a leader in global film archiving for 80 years with its vast collection and ambitious screening program.
The collection's diverse selection of 23 films will be available to view in vintage prints from the time of their screening, including "New York Subway," shot in 1905 during the early days of film, short films by D. W. Griffith and Mack Sennett, rare animations by Walt Disney himself, works from the Golden Age of Hollywood in the 1950s, and a rare documentary filmed by a young director, Martin Scorsese, of his own parents (only "Dekeisha" will be screened in DCP).
