This special screening in MoMA’s Sculpture Garden presents selections from Continents of Drifting Clouds, the 67th Flaherty Film Seminar, curated by Almudena Escobar López and Sky Hopinka. The Flaherty Seminar is a weeklong annual event dedicated to the most adventurous voices in nonfiction cinema; this year's works and conversations ushered in a paradigm shift—from ways of seeing, to changing the ways we know. Summoning the entangled stories of the living and the those now gone, the remembered and the erased, this program brings together works by Alanis Obomsawin, Parastoo Anoushahpour, Faraz Anoushahpour, Ryan Ferko, and João Vieira Torres to trace sources of violence, resistance, and love. Learn more about the Flaherty seminar at theflaherty.org.

Organized by Sophie Cavoulacos, Associate Curator, Department of Film.

Film at MoMA is made possible by CHANEL.
