NEW YORK, October 25, 2022—The Museum of Modern Art announces its selection of the best and boldest films of 2022 for the 15th annual edition of #thecontenders, running November 10, 2022, through January 19, 2023. MoMA’s annual end-of-year series offers audiences the opportunity to catch up on the year’s most noteworthy films, with special presentations and post-screening conversations with filmmakers and actors. #moma members at the Explore category and above will have early, complimentary access to tickets for #thecontenders screenings, beginning two weeks before each screening date. Open access to ticket reservations begins one week prior to each screening. Tickets can be reserved at #moma.org/contenders or in person during regular Museum hours.

Opening the series at the Museum on November 10 is The Fabelmans (2022), Steven Spielberg’s extremely personal #film loosely based on his childhood in post-WWII Arizona, where teenage Sammy Fabelman (Gabriel LaBelle) navigates family dynamics and discovers the transformative power of filmmaking. The screening will be followed by a conversation with Michelle Williams, Judd Hirsch, Seth Rogen, and Gabriel LaBelle.

“It has been an intense 12 months for cinema, during an existentially challenging time for the #film industry. Fortunately, much of the intensity is due to the inspiring artistry in the remarkable new films seen at theaters, festivals, and online,” said #rajendraroy, MoMA’s Celeste Bartos Chief Curator of #film. “The team at #moma has selected films from more than a dozen countries, with highly personal films from established masters like Spielberg, Del Toro, and Hogg to breathtaking new visionaries such as Alice Diop, Elegance Bratton, Audrey Diwan, and Charlotte Wells. We’re excited to celebrate films, like Nope, Top Gun: Maverick, RRR, and Everything Everywhere All at Once, that brought fans back to theaters, which is where we all love to be most.”
