Array's 2025 Cinema Series Spotlights Global Narratives

In 2025, Ava DuVernay's Array is set to present its annual cinema and conversation series, Array 360, with a lineup that offers a global and intergenerational lens on themes of migration, resistance, gender, identity, and collective liberation.

The series will open on October 4th with Taiwan's official 2025 Oscar entry, "The Left-Handed Girl," directed by Tsou Shih-Ching. The centerpiece presentation on October 24th will be Nia DaCosta's Amazon MGM film "Hedda," with a spotlight on Kahlil Joseph's "BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions" the following day.

Other special programming includes Academy Award winner Ben Proudfoot's "The Eyes of Ghana," Palestine's 2025 Oscar entry "Palestine 36" by Annemarie Jacir, and a 35th-anniversary screening of Jennie Livingston's seminal documentary "Paris Is Burning." The series will also feature a showcase of women-directed films from around the world and a Black Panther-themed triple header.

The Array 360 series will conclude on November 8th with a daylong celebration of the works of acclaimed filmmaker Gregory Nava, including screenings of his classics "El Norte," "My Family," and "Why Do Fools Fall in Love?"

"ARRAY 360 convenes community, not just to watch films, but to discuss the ideas inside them," said Array's EVP of Public Programming, Mercedes Cooper. "The selected films bring into focus the urgent, the overlooked and the beautifully human as shown on screen."
