cinematographer to hold a retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City.
From June 16 to June 30, MoMA will screen 15 films shot by the award-winning cinematographer, including In the Mood for Love (2000), The Assassin (2015), and Crosscurrent (2016), which recently won a Silver Bear for Outstanding Artistic Contribution at the 2016 Berlinale. This is also the North American preview of Crosscurrent.
“Luminosity: The Art of Cinematographer Mark Lee Ping-Bing” is Lee’s first American retrospective in his three-decade career. While 14 of the films in the exhibition feature the cinematographer’s work, Let the Wind Carry Me (2010) is a documentary that follows Lee through three years of his life on set, and will be screened on June 19.
During an interview in New York City, Lee said his solo exhibition at MoMA is “the highest honor in his life up to this point.” [FULL STORY]
