Carte Blanche: Mark McElhatten— “To The Lighthouse”

Series Site

"MoMA is honored to present a screening series selected by renowned curator and film programmer Mark McElhatten. “I like to present programs that are more than the sum of their parts,” he says, “an experience that can’t be summarized made up of films that can’t be told.” A founding curator of the New York Film Festival’s Views from the Avant-Garde, and Martin Scorsese’s film archivist for 22 years, McElhatten has been curating film and video programs at major museums and festivals around the world since 1976.

Highlights of the series will include world premieres of work by Nathaniel Dorsky, David Gatten and Ashley West, Ernie Gehr, Vincent Grenier, Eve Heller, Ken and Nisi Jacobs, and Leslie Thornton; US premieres from Michael Robinson, Dani (Leventhal) ReStack and Shelia ReStack; rare screenings of films by Joseph Cornell and Jacques Rivette; and films by Bruce Conner, Claire Denis, Mark LaPore, Buster Keaton, Gregory Markopoulos, Talena Sanders, Phil Solomon, John Reinhardt, and more." - MoMA
