Museum of the Moving Image will open its 13th edition on March 13 with the New York premiere of Sujo. The winner of Sundance's World Cinema Grand Jury prize tells the story of a youngster growing up in the shadow of drug cartel violence. The festival, which also includes work-in-progress screenings and sessions and gallery installations, will close with New York premiere of Bill and Turner Ross’s coming-of-age road movie Gasoline Rainbow on March 17.

The 2024 lineup will premiere 46 works, including 20 features, representing 21 countries. Among the other highlights are the experimental Samsara, which features some of the best cinematography of the past 12 months to tell the story of a woman as she transitions from one life to the next and, also fresh from Sundance, Brooklyn-set drama Tendaberry.

Among the documentaries to look out for is Knit's Island, which sees the filmmakers step inside a post-Apocalyptic survivalist gaming environment to conduct interviews.
