Films in December at the MFA
Beloved French director Jean-Pierre Melville (1917–1973) was best known for his cool, noir-inspired gangster films and political thrillers about the French Resistance. To commemorate the centenary of his birth, cinemas around the world are screening Melville’s films to be discovered and rediscovered by film lovers.
With a career spanning more than six decades, Harry Dean Stanton was beloved for his weathered face, his sweet tenor voice, and his candid approach to acting and life. In December, we remember this American legend with a survey of his acting work—in roles big and small.
Follow medic Nori Sharif through five years of dramatic change after the American retreat from Iraq in 2011. While filming stories of survivors, Nori finds himself trapped between ISIS and Iraqi militias. In trying to save his own family, he is soon forced to turn the camera on himself.
Passes grant admission to three regularly priced films ($11 or less) at a discounted rate during a calendar month. Buy a December pass now—it makes the perfect gift for your favorite cinephile (or yourself)!
In December, bring a ticket stub from any December MFA film to our friends at the Coolidge Corner Theatre for a $3 discount on regularly priced feature films (subject to availability).
