"There's so much to do in Astoria that, should you venture out there, it may be difficult to convince you that seeing a movie is one of the essentials. But that's exactly how you'll feel after poking your head into the Museum of the Moving Image, a celebration of cinema so joyfully educational that this writer copped a ticket to a film he'd already seen (the fabulous Passages, for they play new releases in addition to a robust schedule of repertory screenings) just to marvel for a little while longer in the illusion of an image that moves. The space allows for two rotating exhibits to coexist alongside the permanent installations about the art of filmmaking, which not only breaks down the invention of the medium but also allows the visitor to make their way through the postproduction process themselves by playing with scoring and sound editing." - Andrea Whittle, Charlie Hobbs
