The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures will continue its film screenings and public programs in February and March with retrospectives of Studio Ghibli co-founder Isao Takahata, presented in conjunction with the museum’s Hayao Miyazaki exhibition from Feb. 3-16.

The museum is also spotlighting Italian directors Pier Paolo Pasolini from Feb. 17-March 12, and Cecilia Mangini from March 5-20. The showcase of Pasolini’s films launches the Academy Museum’s partnership with Cinecittà in support of an annual programming series of Italian Cinema.

On Feb. 14, the Academy Museum will hold the world premiere of a new print of “Scarecrow in a Garden of Cucumbers,” Robert J. Kaplan’s film starring iconic transgender actress Holly Woodlawn. Marking the 50th anniversary of the release of “The Godfather,” the museum will show the entire trilogy from March 21-24, including a special Academy Museum member screening of “The Godfather” (1972) with director Francis Ford Coppola on March 21.

The recurring series “Available Space,” showcasing experimental and independent film and media, will highlight the work of Johann Lurf and restorations by the Academy Film Archive of the films of Stan Brakhage. The museum’s “Weekend With…” series will feature screenings of films by Moufida Tlatli and Jill Sprecher. Other series will continue, including screenings highlighting films featured in the museum’s core exhibition “Stories of Cinema,” films curated by members of Academy branches, movies honored at the Oscars and Saturday Family Matinees. Throughout Black History Month in February, the museum’s ongoing series will spotlight the work of Black film artists such as Ava DuVernay, Barry Jenkins and the late Sidney Poitier, in “Lilies of the Field.”
