MOVING IMAGE PRESENTS GEORGE A. ROMERO IN PERSON WITH A PREVIEW SCREENING OF ‘DIARY OF THE DEAD’
On Wednesday, February 6, 2008, at 7:00 p.m., the Museum of the Moving Image will present a preview screening of Diary of the Dead followed by a discussion with the legendary horror director George A. Romero, moderated by Assistant Curator Livia Bloom. This program takes place at the AMC Empire 25 Theater, located at 234 West 42nd Street, Manhattan. Tickets are $12 Museum members / Free for Sponsor-level and above / $18 non-members. Buy tickets online at http://movingimage.us or call 718.784.4520.
In Diary of the Dead, Romero reinvents the zombie film for the MySpace age with a satirical and chilling movie about a group of film students who document a zombie takeover. With this provocative, spirited movie-within-a-movie, the director of Night of the Living Dead, Martin, and The Crazies is at the top of his form. (2007, 95 mins. 35mm print courtesy of The Weinstein Company. Directed by George A. Romero. With Michelle Morgan, Josh Close.)
George A. Romero’s Diary of the Dead will be released theatrically by The Weinstein Company on February 15.
” Scaling back the broad sweep of previous horror opus Land of the Dead and largely jettisoning the increasingly comedic possibilities of the concept in favor of pointed, impassioned social criticism and close-in genre thrills, gore’s godfather audaciously and successfully reboots his incalculably influential zombie franchise as a lean, mean teen-survival machine,” writes Dennis Harvey in Variety.

The Museum of the Moving Image will present an evening of film clips and discussion with the creative team behind the Coen Brothers's acclaimed movie No Country for Old Men, on Friday, February 8, 2008, at 7:30 p.m. at the Director’s Guild Theater in Manhattan. Special guests include Roger Deakins (Academy Award nominee, Cinematography), Jess Gonchor (Production Designer), Peter Kurland (Academy Award nominee, Sound Mixing), Skip Lievsay (Academy Award nominee, Sound Editing and Sound Mixing), and Craig Berkey (Academy Award nominee, Sound Mixing).
This conversation will offer a rare behind-the-scenes look at the making of the Coen Brothers's movie No Country for Old Men, which has been nominated for eight Academy Awards. The film's creative team will show and discuss scenes from the movie. Roger Deakins has photographed the last nine Coen brothers movies, and many other films including The Shawshank Redemption and Kundun. Skip Lievsay and Peter Kurland have worked on every Coen brothers movie since Blood Simple. Sound mixer Craig Berkey was the sound designer for The New World and Superman Returns. Production designer Jess Gonchor is a rising star in his field whose credits include Capote and The Devil Wears Prada. The evening will be moderated by the Museum's Chief Curator, David Schwartz.
"This movie is a masterful evocation of time, place, character, moral choices, immoral certainties, human nature, and fate. It is also, in the photography, the editing, and the sound, startlingly beautiful, stark and lonely. Many of the scenes are so flawlessly constructed that you want them to simply continue, and yet they create an emotional suction drawing you to the next scene."—Roger Ebert
On Sunday, February 10, 2008, at 2:00 p.m., the Museum of the Moving Image will present a tribute to St. Clair Bourne, the prominent African-American filmmaker and activist, who died in December. The program will include a selection of clips from his films and a panel discussion about his life and work featuring cultural critics and scholars George Alexander, Esther Iverem, Clyde Taylor, and Armond White. The panel will be moderated by Chief Curator David Schwartz and DV Republic founder and chief Warrington Hudlin, who organized the program and is a Museum Trustee. A prolific filmmaker, St. Clair Bourne (1943-2007) made more than 40 films, mainly documentaries about African-American culture and politics. His subjects included Paul Robeson, John Henrik Clarke, Gordon Parks, Amiri Baraka, Langston Hughes, and the making of Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing. He began his filmmaking career at Black Journal, the first black public affairs show in the nation, in 1968. From there he formed the independent production company, Chamba Mediaworks, where he produced all his own projects as well as documentaries for HBO, PBS, NBC, BBC, and National Geographic. "St. Clair Bourne played a pivotal role in the contemporary black independent film movement as both a filmmaker and organizer,” said Mr. Hudlin. “The Museum is pleased to host this review and tribute to his considerable body of work.”
