Evenings films in the museum

Lynette Yiadom-Boakye’s characters are full of literary and film echoes. In an effort to explore her imagery with her help, the Museum has organized a film program to screen iconic independent and social films, directed by filmmakers with powerful aesthetics and subjects of their own, such as Pedro Almodóvar, Claude Chabrol, and Pier Paolo Pasolini.
