Join us for the 2024 Carnegie Museum of Art Film Series programmed by artist and curator Astria Suparak. This year’s edition features a special program each month that expands out of a singular idea, topic, or question that is catalyzed by artworks in the museum’s collection. For each program, Suparak has curated a combination of forms, ranging from feature-length narratives and documentaries to music videos, formalist experiments, animation, and internet memes. The selections date from 1920s avant-garde cinema to a new collage video created for the series.

The 2024 Film Series introduces 52 films and time-based works by 48 directors and artists in the Carnegie Museum of Art Theater. For all programs in the series, Suparak has included artwork from the museum’s collection, which will either be incorporated into the curated line-up, featured in our galleries, or on view in the Carnegie Museum of Art Theater during museum hours preceding the scheduled screening. Each screening will open with a brief introduction from a featured artist, writer, or scholar to provide expanded context into the program.

“Alternate realities, reincarnation, and remembrance; complex family relationships and inherited trauma; the wreckage of capitalism and carceral culture; and formal experimentation are ideas that have much resonance to me and unfold in various forms throughout the series.” —Astria Suparak
