NEW YORK, NY.- Martin Scorsese is one of the most accomplished and influential filmmakers of our time. His wide-ranging body of work is at once distinctly personal and rooted in a profound understanding of the art and history of cinema. Museum of the Moving Image is presenting Martin Scorsese , the first major exhibition devoted to the iconic and prolific American director, from December 11, 2016, through April 23, 2017.

The exhibition is organized by the Deutsche Kinemathek – Museum für Film und Fernsehen, Berlin, where it originated. It has traveled to the Museo Nazionale del Cinema in Turin, the Cinémathèque Française in Paris, the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, and the Provincial Cultural Centre Caermersklooster, in Ghent. Museum of the Moving Image is the first American venue for the exhibition.

Drawing extensively from Scorsese’s own collection, the exhibition includes production material from his key films, such as costumes, props, storyboards, set photographs, screenplays, and more; objects from his childhood; and projections of scenes from his work. It explores his inspirations, creative process, and significant collaborations, offering comprehensive insight into Scorsese’s career as an unparalleled screen stylist and a tireless champion of cinema. Sections are organized in the categories: Family, Brothers, Men and Women, Lonely Heroes, New York, Cinephile, Cinematography, Editing, and Music.

At Museum of the Moving Image, the exhibition includes a new section featuring material from Scorsese's forthcoming movie, Silence, an adaptation of Shusaku Endo's celebrated novel about Christian missionaries in seventeenth-century Japan. The Paramount Pictures film opens on December 23.

During the run of the exhibition, the Museum is also presenting a comprehensive retrospective of the director’s work, with the best available film prints and restored versions of his films, supplemented with personal appearances. The screening series opens with Martin Scorsese in the 21 st Century, from December 16 through 30, featuring the director’s six films made after 2000: Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed, Shutter Island, Hugo, and The Wolf of Wall Street . In addition to the director’s own films, the Museum is also presenting a selection from the hundreds of classic movies restored by the Film Foundation under Scorsese’s supervision, and films that formed his lifelong love of cinema.
