MOMA MOVIES. Here are some notable film events taking place at MOMA over the rest of November.
Thursday, November 17
6:30 Lecture, book signing, and the (now vintage) animation of Winsor "Little Nemo" McCay

8:30 ATTACK OF THE MUSHROOM PEOPLE (1963)
A horror flick directed by Inishiro "Godzilla" Honda, it's summarized at IMDB as "Shipwrecked survivors slowly transform into mushrooms." (How's that for an immunity challenge, Jeff Probst?)


Monday, November 21
8:30 MOROCCO (1930)
The museum presents a screening and lecture on this Sternberg/Dietrich collaboration (not to be confused with the Hope/Crosby collaboration Road to Morocco).


Friday, November 25
Monday, November 28
8:30 STRAY DOG (1949)
Do you like "lost and found" stories as much as I do? The search for a lost gun propels this Kurosawa/Mifune/Shimura crime drama (not to be confused with Sam Peckinpah's Straw Dogs).
