🎥 The Museum’s Margaret Mead Film Festival kicks off Friday, May 2! The three-day celebration will present storytelling and documentary films from diverse voices near and far. See the fill film schedule and reserve tickets today. Some highlights, below:

Friday, May 2, is Opening Night! Join us for the New York premiere of the Sundance award-winning film, Seeds, directed by Brittany Shyne. This documentary follows Georgia farmers Willie Head Jr. and Carlie Williams, stewards of some of America’s oldest Black-run farms, as they fight for their land’s future in a shifting agricultural landscape. The film will be followed by an insightful post-screening discussion with Shyne. On Saturday, May 3, see The Shepherd and the Bear, which examines the ancient relationship between humans and nature through a uniquely modern conundrum for French farmers amid a shrinking agricultural industry: an uptick in brown bears that threatens local livestock. The New York premiere of this film is co-presented with The Climate Museum. On Sunday, May 4, Darren Aronofsky presents Viktor. See Kharkiv, under siege by Russia, through the tenacious lens of Viktor, a local photographer with a hearing impairment. Aronofsky will be in attendance to introduce the New York premiere of this film, which will be screening with open captions. ASL interpretation will be provided for the post-screening conversation with director Olivier Sarbil and the protagonist Viktor. Throughout the weekend, family-friendly short films will play under the Museum’s Blue Whale.

‘Stuffed’ Review: There’s Artistry in That Plumage

By BY BEN KENIGSBERG This documentary makes the case for taxidermy as a cuddly profession. Published: October 15, 2019 at 05:00AM from NYT Movies https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/15/movies/stuffed-review.html?partner=IFTTT via IFTTT

You Know the Lorena Bobbitt Story. But Not All of It.

In the 1990s, she was the topic of tabloid headlines and comedy skits. Now, as a documentary series takes on the story, she opens up about how that one night changed her life.

Lorena is correct, of course, that most people forget that before she was tried for what she did, John was charged with marital sexual assault. (He was acquitted.) At the time, marital rape only recently had been made a crime in all 50 states and was nearly impossible to prove in Virginia. Many in the media, including Ladies’ Home Journal and Gay Talese on assignment for The New Yorker, questioned whether it was an oxymoron. (“Wife Rape? Who Really Gets Screwed?” an earlier column in Penthouse read.) Al Franken, as the character Stuart Smalley on Saturday Night Live, implored Lorena to apologize to John’s penis. And, she is correct, that people forget that a jury found her not guilty by reason of temporary insanity. We forget about the string of witnesses at her trial who testified that they had seen bruises on her arms and neck and that she had called 911 repeatedly and that John had bragged to friends about forcing his wife to have sex. In the years since the trial, he was arrested several times and served jail time for violence against two different women. (He denied the allegations.) “This is about a victim and a survivor and this is about what’s happening in our world today,” Lorena told me.
