Hidden Gems from MoMA: Rosita & the FOX titles

Since its inception in 1929, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) has presented the contemporary works of world-renowned artists such as Cezanne, Manet, Monet, van Gogh, Chagall, Andy Warhol, and Jackson Pollock. It is also a film archive whose collection includes more than 30,000 films, including original negatives of the Biograph and Edison companies, D.W.Griffith, Orson Welles, etc. The Film Library of MoMA was founded in 1935 as the first film art institution in the US. The great effort and passion made by Iris Barry (1895~1969), a film critic and writer, and the support on the film collection and preservation from Hollywood studios, have made cinema not just mass media but the artwork of the 20th century.
As a film archive and cinematheque, the KOFA presents a special program which aims to conserve and restore films and to rediscover and introduce the hidden gems from MoMA to the audience. The program offers six films produced by the 20th Century Fox from the late 1920s to the early 1930s and ROSITA (directed by Ernst Lubitsch and starring Mary Pickford), which was restored by MoMA and screened at the Venice International Film Festival in 2017.
