NEW YORK, October 23, 2018—The Museum of Modern Art announces its selection of the
boldest films of 2018 for the 11th year of The Contenders, running November 8, 2018,
through January 8, 2019. MoMA’s annual end-of-year series offers audiences the unique
opportunity to peer behind the industry curtain, with special presentations that often feature
revealing post-screening conversations with filmmakers and actors. Tickets for the MoMA
screenings go on sale two weeks prior to each screening at 9:30 a.m. at The Museum of
Modern Art and online at moma.org/contenders.
Opening the series at the Museum on November 8 is Steve McQueen’s Widows (2018), a
blistering, modern-day thriller set against a backdrop of crime, passion, and corruption.
Widows is the story of four women with nothing in common except a debt left behind by their
dead husbands’ criminal activities. Oscar winner Viola Davis leads a knockout ensemble of
women who take their fate into their own hands and conspire to forge a future on their own
terms. Director Steve McQueen and Producer Iain Canning will be present for a postscreening
discussion on opening night.
Today’s initial announcement of the 2018 line-up also includes spotlight screenings of critical
darlings BlacKkKlansman and Private Life, the record-breaking Black Panther, and the year’s
most talked about films, such as Free Solo. A forthcoming announcement listing additional
films in this year’s line-up will be made later this year.
“The 2018 Contenders line-up features a cross section of the best new cinema from around
the world, from the best of Hollywood (and Wakanda!) to smaller films like Lucretia Martel’s
Zama, and Hale County This Morning, This Evening from RaMell Ross,” said Rajendra Roy,
MoMA’s Celeste Bartos Chief Curator of Film. “Steve McQueen returning to MoMA on opening
night with Widows will be a great moment for our enthusiastic audience, and having everyone
from Paul Schrader to John Krasinski join us for discussions speaks to the breadth and depth
of the program.”
