WOW 🤩 what an incredible season it has been for the MoMA Teens Film Club! This year, we explored a wide range of film genres including horror, fantasy, comedy, and documentaries. We had the privilege of gaining insights from legendary icons in the film industry. Most importantly, we built a vibrant community of film enthusiasts from all five boroughs. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who registered and attended our screenings—Film Club wouldn’t be the same without you! 💞
We extend a huge THANK YOU to our Teen Film Committee, whose hard work made this year’s fun and interactive screenings possible for New York teens. Each member of our cohort played a crucial role in creating memorable, thought-provoking, and community-building experiences.💐
We also want to give a major shout-out to our amazing guests this year: Julia Baylis, Sam Guest, Nialla LeBouef, Wynn Thomas, Molly Rogers, Jane Schoenbrun, and Nadine Fattaleh! You all truly inspired us with your presence, sharing your work, and emphasizing the importance of film and storytelling.⭐️⭐️⭐️
And of course, our deepest gratitude goes to the MoMA Film Department, who worked with us all year long to bring us the stunning films we enjoyed. THANK YOU!🫶
MoMA Teens Film Club will return next January. We look forward to watching more movies with you then :) 📽️

🚨Join the MoMA Teens Film Club for a free screening featuring two amazing films by director Mai Masri: Children of Shatila and Frontiers of Dreams and Fears.
Children of Shatila is a touching documentary about kids growing up in the Shatila refugee camp in Lebanon. Directed by Mai Masri, it shows the real lives of Mariam and Youssef, two young kids who deal with tough situations but still find joy and hope.
Frontiers of Dreams and Fears follows the friendship between two Palestinian girls, Mona and Manar, who live in different refugee camps in Lebanon and Bethlehem. This documentary highlights their struggles and dreams, showing their resilience and desire for freedom.
After the films, there will be a discussion and Q&A session. Stick around afterwards for a fun mixer with free food, activities, and music from 7:45 to 9:00 p.m.💞
