Artist’s Choice: Movie Nights is a three-week film series that highlights the continued importance of cinema and the moving image for artists working across media. Programmed by Ana Benaroya, Awol Erizku, and Cynthia Daignault, the series will bring together an eclectic mix of films offering reflections on each artist’s respective practice or cinematic interests, allowing audience members to consider how visual histories interact and cross-pollinate with one another.
