MoMA: The Museum of Modern Art announces Modern Mondays for April 2010 at The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters 1 & 2
An Evening with Matías Piñeiro
April 26, 7:00 p.m.
Filmmaker Matías Piñeiro (Argentinean, b. 1982) presents the North American premiere of his feature Todos mienten (They All Lie, 2009). Winner of jury prizes at the Buenos Aires and Santiago international film festivals, They All Lie is a melodrama wrapped in a tantalizing intellectual mystery about Argentina's nineteenth-century history of dictatorship and liberalism. Set in a secluded country house where a group of girls and boys in their twenties play games of love and chance, invent stories, spy on each other, and plan a robbery, the film employs intricate plot lines, camera movements, and long takes, and situates Piñeiro as an exciting contributor to new Argentine cinema. In Spanish; English subtitles. A discussion with the director will follow the screening.
Tickets: $10 adults; $8 seniors, 65 years and over with I.D. $6 full-time students with current I.D. (For admittance to film programs only.)
