When I moved to Fort Worth a few years ago, I had the hardest time finding where I could watch independent films, documentaries and old movies. I couldn’t find anything…so I gave up.
Months later, David and I went to the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth to do research for a class I was teaching on art, beauty, and comparing traditional and modern art. While visiting The Modern, I realized the museum also housed a movie theater, Magnolia at the Modern . It shows the exact films I was looking for, and is conveniently located in Fort Worth’s Cultural District
Inside the Theater
Our first viewing was on a cold Sunday. Before the Academy Awards, the Magnolia at the Modern features many of the films and documentaries nominated. We enjoyed a series of short documentaries. These films were incredibly thought provoking and engaging. It was such a great way to engage the world in a different way as each of the three films we saw were from different countries. As we plan our activities, we often check the films showing at the Magnolia.
