MoMA Contenders: ‘Dolemite Is My Name’ plus Q&A with Eddie Murphy and Wesley Snipes

The Hammer Museum presents MoMA Contenders, the Museum of Modern Art’s 10-film series of stand-out movies from the past year, kicking off with “Dolemite Is My Name.” Directed by Craig Brewer and written by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, this comedic film chronicles the production of charismatic filmmaker Rudy Ray Moore’s landmark blacksploitation classic, “Dolemite.” Looking smooth in costume designer Ruth E. Carter’s 1970s-inspired wardrobe, Eddie Murphy stars as Moore alongside Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Wesley Snipes. Murphy, Snipes, Carter and the film’s writers will participate in a discussion following the screening.
