Presenting a wide range of themes, film screenings at the AAM reveal important perspectives of filmmakers and artists of our time.

Movies at the Museum: Dynamic Duos

Enjoy open-air cinema in the Roof Deck Sculpture Garden through a variety of films that celebrate complex, enriching relationships, inspired by the collaborations of Wade Guyton, Peter Fischli, and David Weiss. This summer, the AAM extends the theme of collaboration and presents Movies at the Museum in partnership with Aspen Film.

About the Film

The Kid (1921) 

Directed by Charlie Chaplin
Not Rated

In this special performance, Marc Ribot presents a live guitar score to the classic silent film, The Kid, contemporizing this classic Chaplin film to a story relevant to the economic and social conditions of today. Ribot, who Rolling Stone describes as “emotive, graceful, but with a glint of mischief in his method,” has released over twenty albums and performed with Robert Plant, Alison Krauss, Elvis Costello, and more.
