Jazz Score at MoMA

Comprising a film retrospective, a gallery installation, live concerts, and a panel discussion, Jazz Score celebrates some of the best original jazz composed for the cinema from the 1950s to the present. The film retrospective opens on April 17 with a weeklong theatrical run of Arthur Penn’s Mickey One, and continues with fiction features, experimental and animated shorts, and documentaries from countries as far ranging as France, Brazil, Japan, South Africa, and the U.S.

See the current line up for Jazz Score on MoMA’s Web site. The film clips from the Jazz Score line up, Knife in the Water and Ascenseur pour l’échafaud (Elevator to the Gallows), are available for DVD at criterion.com.
