2024 MoMI Redstone Schedule
36-01 35th Ave, Queens, NY 11106
Queens World will open with a thematic curation that is sure to challenge our audience with stories representing varied cultures and experiences with a bloc we are calling
TAKE THIS: 7 FILMS THAT REFUSE TO BACK DOWN.
The bloc begins with a short film that highlights the ungodly decisions parents of young children must make when war is right outside their door and is followed by a series of films that remind us that the twists and turns of the human experience can swing from the ridiculous to the horrific in the blink of an eye. The bloc ends with a film that helps us contemplate how we present ourselves and reminds us that sometimes, all it takes is a good haircut.
