Stair in the Dark Favourites screenings of Trainspotting, Twilight, Belladonna of Sadness and American Psycho, Rediscoveries of Jaws and Raging Bull, and the fourth ASEAN Film Festival focused on music and sound in Southeast Asian cinema.
The Signal
The summer line-up underscores M+’s strategy of embedding moving-image programming within its multidisciplinary collection and exhibition programme, giving collectors and curators direct access to canonical works alongside the concurrent Dial-A-Poem Hong Kong presentation. The ASEAN Film Festival component further positions the museum as a platform for regional cinema, spotlighting restored classics and emerging Southeast Asian voices through screenings, talks and listening sessions that may influence acquisition priorities and cross-border curatorial networks.
