Modern Matinees: Family—The Faith Hubley Centennial

The Museum of Modern Art presents Modern Matinees: Family—The Faith Hubley Centennial. In commemoration of the creative life of the Oscar-winning animator Faith Hubley (1924–2001), the Museum of Modern Art presents an ambitious 14-program retrospective of the filmmaker’s shorts and features. This trailblazing independent artist’s work was rooted in a passionate belief in the family of man, and distinguished by her dedication to progressive social issues. The remarkable legacy of her collaborations with her husband John and children Emily, Georgia, Mark, and Ray are evidence, as Faith remarked in 1979, that “we just decided we wanted to make small, good films and raise a family.” The series includes films made with musicians Benny Carter (The Cosmic Eye), Dizzy Gillespie (The Hole), Lionel Hampton (Adventures of an *), Quincy Jones (Of Men and Demons), and Don Christensen (Witch Madness), and with performers Juanita Hall, Meryl Streep (Everybody Rides the Carousel), and Dudley Moore (The Hat).
