Media City Film Festival Award Winners (and multi-festival alumni) Sky Hopinka (2014) and Basma AlSharif (2013) co-present an evening of their films at MoMA: February 17, 2020 at 7:00 p.m.

“For the first time in their flourishing careers as artists and filmmakers, Basma alSharif (Palestinian, resides in Egypt) and Sky Hopinka (Ho-Chunk Nation, resides in Vancouver) present a program of their moving-image work in dialogue. This special joint presentation of Modern Mondays and Doc Fortnight 2020 features a rich array of Hopinka’s and alSharif’s videos spanning nine years, from 2011 to the present. Through this, we can appreciate the strangely fascinating affinities and tensions in their approaches to cinema. Despite coming from very different places and having very different biographies, alSharif and Hopinka nonetheless share an interest in the politics of storytelling and image-making; in palimpsests and erasures of history; in the uses and abuses of language and landscape; and in the experience of loss and longing that comes with exile and displacement. This call and response between their work is sure to create a gorgeously lush, even hypnagogic theatrical experience.” –MoMA
