The New York Film Festival continues to partner with The Bronx Museum as their official screening location in the borough of The Bronx!
This year, Director Jem Cohen’s new film about an astronomer, Little, Big, and Far, will be screened at The Bronx Museum. The film’s subject matter ties nicely to the cosmic themes of the exhibition currently on view in the Museum’s galleries: FUTURA 2000: BREAKING OUT.
Admission to the Museum and tickets to the screening are free and we encourage you to RSVP, but we will also accommodate walk-ins.

About the Film
Little, Big, and Far
Jem Cohen, 2024, Austria/U.S., 121m
German and English with English subtitles
Jem Cohen brings the same meditative elegance and intellectual curiosity he did to Museum Hours (2012) with his stargazing new feature, again using the cinematic form to patiently interrogate ways of seeing and being. The principal subject of Cohen’s film is an Austrian astronomer named Karl who has been re-evaluating his work and life after turning 70, and who travels to a mountaintop on a Greek island in search of the darkest sky against which to view the cosmos. Yet the real matter of the singular Little, Big, and Far—whose title refers to the three concepts Karl and his physicist wife believe are at the core of their work—is as vast as the universe itself, a reckoning with scientific truth at a moment of humanity’s existential crisis.
