Art after Dark

Art After Dark is Joslyn Art Museum's 75th anniversary outdoor cinema program. In collaboration with the Library of Congress (LOC) American Memory project, Art After Dark will celebrate more than a century of American movie making with movies and animated films that have been named by the LOC to the National Film Registry (NFR). The films in the NFR, 450 as of 2006, represent a stunning range of American filmmaking — including Hollywood features, documentaries, avant-garde and amateur productions, films of regional interest, ethnic, animated, and short film subjects — all deserving recognition, preservation, and access by future generations.

Starting at dusk (~8:00 p.m.), the movies will be screened in front of Joslyn Art Museum's east wall, Thursdays, September 6 through 27. Shorts from the LOC and/or NFR and the Roland Collection of Films and Videos on Art (Roland) and/or animated films, both classic and contemporary, from the prestigious National Film Board of Canada (NFBC) will be shown before the movies. Admission is free. (Not all animations, shorts, or features are appropriate for all ages.)
