At 8:00 pm, MOMA is hosting "An Evening with Andreas Hykade and Mariusz Wilczynski," two of the most inventive animation filmmakers working today. They will be featured in MoMA's series MediaScope, which offers a look at innovative work in film, video, web-based, installation and digital art practices, as well as a chance to hear the artists discuss their work.
This special program, presented in association with the Polish Cultural Institute in New York and the Goethe Institute New York, features five short films by each filmmaker, including the U.S. premiere of Hykade's THE RUNT (2006) and the world premiere of Wilczynski's KIZI MIZI (2007), which the artist describes as "a tough love story between a cat and a mouse... a film about loneliness, betrayal, and revenge."
A Q&A will follow the screening.
The Museum of Modern Art, Theater 2 (T2) is located at 11 West 53th Street, New York, NY 10019. Admission is $10, $8 seniors, $6 students. Same-day tickets can be purchased at the lobby information desk and at the Film and Media Desk at MoMA. For more information, visit www.moma.org.
