Film at the Museum: Moonlight

Immerse yourself in a poignant cinematic experience as we showcase an acclaimed film that delves into the intricate nuances of identity and self-discovery. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Miami, this powerful story follows the transformative journey of a young man grappling with his sexuality, family dynamics, and the complexities of his environment. Its lyrical storytelling and evocative imagery invite viewers to reflect deeply on themes of love, acceptance, and the myriad facets of masculinity.



Following the screening, we are excited to welcome Dr. Seth Davis from LeMoyne-Owen College, a scholar with deep insights into film theory and cultural studies. His engaging discussion promises to enrich the viewing experience as he unpacks the film's profound messages and explores its artistic significance. Attendees will have the opportunity to actively participate, offering their interpretations and perspectives, creating a collective dialogue that honors the film's impact and relevance in today's society.
