MoMI Curator of Film Eric Hynes commented, “In the midst of the writers’ strike, our Spring Moving Image Awards event is especially meaningful as we celebrate the work that goes into creating innovative series and movies.”
“Funds raised at the Moving Image Awards help support MoMI’s exhibitions, screenings, and education and community engagement programs,” a release noted, “which serve youth and adults, and children and their families, most of whom are residents of the most ethnically diverse region in the world, Queens.”Photo by Bryan Bedder/Getty Images for HBO
Wilson was born in Astoria, Queens, where MoMI is located. He grew up on Long Island. His HBO series “is a uniquely hilarious odyssey of self-discovery and cultural observation, as Wilson covertly and obsessively films the lives of his fellow New Yorkers while attempting to give everyday advice on relatable topics,” MoMI observed. “Building upon Wilson’s previously released ‘how to’ short films, the episodes take wildly unexpected turns, but are grounded in John’s refreshing honesty.
The Museum of the Moving Image “houses the nation’s largest collection of moving image artifacts and screens over 500 films annually.” It describes itself as “the only institution in the United States that deals comprehensively with the art, technology, enjoyment, and social impact of film, television, and digital media.”
