In June 2011, MoMA will present a RETROSPECTIVE OF KATHRYN BIGELOW’s entire career with screenings of all of her feature films, including the Academy Award-winning film The Hurt Locker (2008), K-19: The Widowmaker (2002), The Weight of Water (2000), and Strange Days (1995). In conjunction with the retrospective, the Museum has acquired Bigelow’s paper archive, which documents all of her film projects from Set-Up to The Hurt Locker, from pre-production research through production notes to post-release publicity and press materials. The archive contains both process and creative documentation such as storyboards, scripts, filming schedules, location scouting reports, and casting notes. The collection also includes unrealized scripts and other projects.
