MoMa Presents Debra Graniks Winter's Bone 6/9

The Museum of Modern Art will premiere a special preview screening of Debra Granik's Winter's Bone (2010), winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Drama and the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, in The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 1 on Wednesday, June 9, at 8:30 p.m. The screening will be introduced by writer-director Debra Granik. Winter's Bone begins its nationwide roll-out on Friday, June 11.

Based on the 2006 novel by Daniel Woodrell, Winter's Bone is the story of Ree Dolly (Jennifer Lawrence), a determined young woman and caregiver for her mother and two younger siblings, who must locate her vanished father in order to save the family home, which he put up as bond after his arrest for drug-dealing. Set in a rural community in the Ozark Mountains, the local industry is crystal meth, and allegiances demand that strong women run interference between the law and their clan. The compelling-and often surprising-action plays out against the harsh beauty of the Ozark landscape and the poignancy of mountain ballads and plaintive fiddle music. Marked by extraordinary performances and Granik's pitch-perfect direction, Winter's Bone packs countless emotional upheavals into a journey across only a few hardscrabble miles. The screening is organized by Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator, Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art.
