cinema at the museum: wanda

Barbara Loden's 1970 film Wanda follows a woman drifting through Pennsylvania after leaving her husband and losing custody of her children. Shot in an intimate, documentary-like style, the film traces her solitary journey through dingy bars and motels as she encounters a series of men, including a bank robber who draws her into his crime. This screening is part of Cinema at the Museum's November series, which was shaped by audience suggestions from their 2026 survey. The film runs 103 minutes and contains mild violence, brief nudity, and substance use, so it's recommended for ages 14 and up. Tickets are $10, and members and anyone under 18 get in free with a check-in token at the front desk.
