🎥 The Museum’s Margaret Mead Film Festival kicks off on Friday, May 1! This three-day celebration will present storytelling and documentary films from diverse voices near and far. Some highlights, below: Friday, May 1, is opening night! Join us for Time and Water. This film follows Andri Snær Magnason (@andrimagnaso) as he embarks on a profound exploration of environmental love and mourning. Academy Award nominee Sara Dosa (@unadosa) crafts an intimate, transcendent meditation on loss, memory, and the deep time of the natural world—-poetic, urgent,and powerfully human in its confrontation of the climate crisis. On Saturday, May 2, see The Oldest Person in the World (@theoldestpersonintheworld). More than a decade in the making, documentarian Sam Green returns with a charming, deeply felt portrait of the world's oldest living person—a title that changes hands several times over the course of the film. Profiling a succession of record holders, he captures the wit, grit, and humor of extraordinary longevity in a moving reflection on time and a joyful celebration of life. On Sunday, May 3, Nuisance Bear (@nuisance_bear_film) drops us into northern Canada, where a wandering polar bear becomes a menace to a small town. Winner of the U.S. Documentary Competition Grand Jury Prize at Sundance and directed by Gabriela Osio Vanden (@sanguinuss) and Jack Weisman (@jack_weisman), the film observes an uneasy coexistence among the bear, the region’s native Inuit community, and a booming tourism economy. 🎟️ Weekend passes are now available!
