Experimental cinema does many things; one of its most crucial and revelatory functions is to reawaken us to the mystery and magic of perception—to return us, briefly, to childlike wonderment. With this in mind, Metrograph introduces a new series, “Playground.” For the inaugural program, we have put together a suite of colorful experimental films from the dawn of cinema through to the present, with select works from the Lumière Brothers, Len Lye, Marie Menken, Abbas Kiarostami, Ute Aurand, and Charles and Ray Eames, to dazzle and delight young eyes.

Director of Programming (and mom) Inge de Leeuw describes the experience: “The sound levels will be dimmed, and there will be a gentle light on, creating a relaxed atmosphere where young viewers feel at ease. They won’t be confined to their seats; they can move around, explore, and enjoy the wonder of the big screen. It will be a playful, interactive cinematic journey, designed with little explorers in mind.”
