Join us for a free screening of Out of the Picture (2024, 1h38m), a feature-length documentary about art critics living through our current period of transformation in art and media. The art world has changed, with long lines for Instagrammable art shows, a worldwide proliferation of biennials, mind-boggling art market records and hashtag-driven discourses. And so too has art’s place in the world.

After the film, stay for a conversation between Mary Louise Schumacher, filmmaker and Executive Director of the Dorothea and Leo Rabkin Foundation, and Colby Associate Professor of Art Daniel Harkett.

This event is free and open to all, but ticket reservation is encouraged. Reserve your spot through the Maine Film Center’s website.

Frame by Frame is a collaborative program of the Colby College Museum of Art and the Maine Film Center, and is cosponsored by the Colby Art Department. Film screenings are paired with speakers or programs that connect what we see on the big screen to what happens in the museum.
