MoMA’s Doc Fortnight 2024 Full Lineup: 'Realm of Satan' to open non-fiction cinema festival
New York City, New York (Release): The Museum of Modern Art has announced the lineup for Doc Fortnight 2024, the 23rd edition of its annual showcase of adventurous new nonfiction cinema from around the world. Running from February 22 through March 7, 2024, Doc Fortnight 2024 will present 13 features and six short films, with three additional special programs, screening in the Museum’s Titus Theaters.
The festival will open with Scott Cummings’s 'Realm of Satan', an experimental portrait of the lives, environments, and rituals of followers of the Church of Satan, and will close with 'Black Box Diaries', Japanese journalist Shiori Ito’s investigation into her own sexual assault. Both films will screen at MoMA following recent Sundance premieres.
Doc Fortnight 2024 will also feature three special programs: A selection of artists’ films from across the Caribbean, curated by the Puerto Rico–based Sociedad del Tiempo Libre; a dialogue between artist Tiffany Sia and scholar Pavle Levi, sparked by their shared interest in landscape film and the Cold War’s minor histories; and a spotlight on Gelare Khoshgozaran, who will present their first monographic screening in New York as part of MoMA’s Modern Mondays artist cinema series.
Doc Fortnight 2024 is organized by Sophie Cavoulacos, Associate Curator, Department of Film, MoMA, and Julian Ross, Leiden University Centre for the Arts in Society, with Chandra Knotts, Filmmaker Liaison, Department of Film, MoMA.
