Hi everyone!

The Museum of Modern Art is running a film series on jazz in the movies - does anyone know if MoMA normally run 35MM? Maybe someone here is the projectionist there (or knows them?)

Unfortunately, the program doesn't specify exhibition format. I'm really interested in seeing 'The Pawnbroker', especially if it's 35MM.

Thanks!

I'm no projectionist there, but yes, they run 35mm often, do a decent presentation, and the theater is quite nice.

The MOMA catalog for June doesn't say whether it's 35mm or 16mm, but I would suspect that it's 35mm. It's playing Friday, June 6 at 6pm and Sunday, June 8 at 2:30pm.

Other films that are part of this series:
In Cold Blood
The Wild One
The Organization
the Taking of Pelham One Two Three
Breathless
The Concrete Jungle
Alfie
A Bucket of Blood
Pianissimo
"A Marriage Made in Heaven" - animated Jazz shorts from the Hubley Studio featuring the music of Benny Carter, Dizzy Gillespie, Quincy Jones and other Jazz giants.

Also playing at MOMA this month:
The Maltese Falcon
All About Eve
On The Waterfront
It Should Happen to You
