Free: Film Magellan 2025 + In Conversation

The Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) has free classic movies. This Thursday at 6pm it is the movie Magellan made by Filipino filmmaker Lav Diaz.

At the dawn of the modern era, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan (Gael García Bernal) persuades the Spanish Crown to fund a daring voyage into uncharted oceans, attempting the first passage across the vast Pacific. The globe-spanning journey becomes a test of endurance and faith, as hunger, storms, and mutiny push the crew to the brink. Upon reaching the Malay Archipelago, Magellan’s dream of discovery hardens into obsession, sparking rebellion and a reckoning with devastating consequences. Vast in scale and hypnotic in its power, Lav Diaz’s Magellan is a visually ravishing historical and spiritual epic that has been greeted with acclaim around the world.
