Doc Fortnight 2023
February 22, 2023 – March 06, 2023
The Museum of Modern Art
The Museum of Modern Art announces the lineup for Doc Fortnight 2023, the 22nd edition of its annual showcase of adventurous new nonfiction cinema from around the world. Running from February 22 through March 7, 2023, Doc Fortnight 2023 will premiere 15 features and eight short films, with additional special programming, screening in the Museum’s Titus Theaters. Including films from over 20 countries, with many filmmakers participating in Q&As to engage with New York City audiences, the Doc Fortnight 2023 slate highlights thought-provoking perspectives on urgent political issues and untold histories, while attesting to the power of nonfiction as a mode for artistic experimentation. Many of the selected films—drawn from the best of festival programs over the last year or presented at MoMA fresh off world premieres—will be screening for the first time in North America.
Organized by Sophie Cavoulacos, Associate Curator, Department of Film, MoMA, and Julian Ross, Leiden University Centre for the Arts in Society.
Film at MoMA is made possible by CHANEL.
Additional support is provided by the Annual Film Fund. Leadership support for the Annual Film Fund is provided by Debra and Leon D. Black, with major contributions from The Contemporary Arts Council of The Museum of Modern Art, Jo Carole and Ronald S. Lauder, the Association of Independent Commercial Producers (AICP), The Junior Associates of The Museum of Modern Art, Karen and Gary Winnick, and The Brown Foundation, Inc., of Houston.
