Empire Builders: Dutch Golden Age
2025-01-05 14:00 - 15:00 UTC | Kimbell Art Museum, Kimbell Art Museum, Camp Bowie Boulevard, Fort Worth, TX, USA, Fort Worth, TX, United States
The Dutch Empire (2021, 55 min.)

After successful trading missions to the Spice Islands (Indonesia) the Dutch established the East India Company (VOC) which was to grow into the world’s largest multi-national corporation in the 17th century. The VOC developed a near monopoly of the Asian spice trade and its huge maritime fleet became the world’s most powerful and profitable shipping company. Far from celebrating their so called “Golden Age”, the Dutch today are actively debating their colonial legacy which involved the enslavement and exploitation of millions in both their former Asian and Caribbean colonies.
How did the newly independent Netherlands emerge as a global superpower in the seventeenth century? This two-part series chronicles naval exploration and global commerce, scientific advances, and the booming art market in the Dutch Golden Age. Offered in conjunction with the special exhibition Dutch Art in a Global Age: Masterpieces from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Michael Anderson, 1976

“Logan’s Run is a vast, silly extravaganza that delivers a certain amount of fun, once it stops taking itself seriously.” —Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
In the year 2274, young residents enjoy an idyllic, hedonistic lifestyle within the protective confines of a domed city. The general belief is that when each person turns 30, they are reincarnated for another blissful life cycle. Those who know the much darker truth become “runners” and flee to a hidden sanctuary. When law enforcement officer Logan (Michael York) goes undercover to locate the refuge, he ends up trying to initiate a revolution with runner Jessica (Jenny Agutter).

Directed by Pedro Almodóvar
PG-13; 107 minutes
“Swinton and Moore imbue the movie with heart that at first seems elusive, along with the dignity, humanity and empathy that are as much Almodóvar’s subjects here as mortality.” —David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
Ingrid (Julianne Moore) and Martha (Tilda Swinton) were close friends in their youth, when they worked together at the same magazine. Ingrid went on to become an autofiction novelist while Martha became a war reporter, and they were separated by the circumstances of life. After years of being out of touch, they meet again in an extreme but strangely sweet situation. Brought to the screen by Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar, The Room Next Door is his first English-language feature film.

Magnolia at the Modern is an ongoing series featuring critically acclaimed films. Tickets are $10 and $7 for all Modern members. The first Sunday showtime is half price. Learn more about the special benefits of joining Reel People, a membership add-on for film enthusiasts.
