Assistant Professor MM Serra Guest Curates Queer Cinema Survey at MoMA

Assistant Professor, MM Serra, has been named Guest Curator for an upcoming film program at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), titled A History of Liberation and Transgression. The program is a comprehensive survey of queer cinema, showcasing over 70 short and feature-length films by 65 filmmakers, and will run from May 28 through June 27, 2025.

This landmark series presents seven decades of lesbian, gay, and transgender filmmaking, highlighting works that explore themes of sexuality, love, activism, and resistance. The selection includes both seminal, widely recognized titles and lesser-known or historically marginalized films, offering a broad and inclusive representation of queer cinematic history.

The program stands as a vital cultural contribution, honoring the courage, creativity, and transgressive spirit of queer filmmakers whose works have shaped and redefined the moving image.
