Special Screening: Silence of the Lambs with Brian Raftery
July 18, 2026 | 1PM
Free for Members | Included with General Admission*
*Ticket price includes Museum General Admission
Introduction by Hannibal Lecter: A Life author Brian Raftery. There will be a book signing with Brian Raftery after the film screening.
In this chilling adaptation of the best-selling novel by Thomas Harris, the astonishingly versatile director Jonathan Demme crafted a taut psychological thriller about an American obsession: serial murder. As Clarice Starling, an FBI trainee who enlists the help of the infamous Hannibal “the Cannibal” Lecter to gain insight into the mind of another killer, Jodie Foster subverts classic gender dynamics and gives one of the most memorable performances of her career. As her foil, Anthony Hopkins is the archetypal antihero—cultured, quick-witted, and savagely murderous—delivering a harrowing portrait of humanity gone terribly wrong. A gripping police procedural and a disquieting immersion into a twisted psyche, The Silence of the Lambs swept the Academy Awards® (best picture, director, screenplay, actress, actor) and remains a cultural touchstone.
About Hannibal Lecter: A Life
Drawing from exclusive interviews and previously unseen archival materials, this one-of-its-kind biography of Hannibal Lecter documents the cannibal’s journey from terrifying villain to unexpectedly adored antihero.

About the Artists
Alice Leora Briggs (Tucson, AZ) explores narratives of life on la frontera—the U.S.–Mexico borderlands—through meticulously rendered artworks. Featured in more than 50 solo exhibitions, her work is housed in over 35 public collections, including Phoenix Art Museum, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Library of Congress. Her notable publications include Dreamland: The Way Out of Juárez (2010), an illuminated manuscript created with writer Charles Bowden, and Abecedario de Juárez: An Illustrated Lexicon (2022) with photojournalist Julián Cardona.
Jan Talmadge Davids (Tucson, AZ) works in clay and mixed media to explore the landscapes of her childhood, local ecologies, and ideas of place-making. Through thoughtful installation and material sensitivity, she invites viewers to engage with themes of fragility and vulnerability. Davids earned her MFA from the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts at Arizona State University. Her work has been exhibited at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum (Long Beach, CA), Tempe Center for the Arts, eye lounge, and the Tucson Museum of Art.
Christopher Ignacio (Phoenix, AZ) is a Filipino-American puppeteer, producer, educator, and interdisciplinary artist whose work explores the intersection of voice, technology, and identity. He holds an MFA in Theatre/Interdisciplinary Digital Media from Arizona State University, where he teaches motion capture and 3D animation, and serves as Creative Producer for the T. Denny Sanford Harmony Institute. Ignacio is a recipient of grants and fellowships from the Arizona Commission on the Arts, Queens Council on the Arts, and Culture Push, and is dedicated to creating works that invite participation outside traditional arts spaces.
Shaunté Glover (Phoenix, AZ) is a multidisciplinary artist whose creative practice spans photography, film, printmaking, and sculpture. A graduate of Arizona State University, Glover is recognized for her compelling exploration of identity and representation. At the heart of her practice lies a deep commitment to amplifying marginalized voices, particularly those of Black women, using contemporary art as a catalyst for visibility, dialogue, and community empowerment.
The Arizona Artist Awards are made possible by the Scult Family; Sally and Richard Lehmann; and the Cohn Fund for Arts and Culture, a founding gift of the Phoenix Art Museum Education and Engagement Excellence Fund.
National Theatre Live: All My Sons
July 19, 2026 | 1PM
$15 for Members | $20 for General Public
Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) and Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Hard Truths) feature in a five-star, triumphantly acclaimed new production of Arthur Miller’s classic play, from visionary director Ivo Van Hove (A View from the Bridge).
One family, the heart of the American dream. When wartime delivers profits for Joe, it comes at a price when his partner is charged with criminal manufacturing deals, and his eldest son goes missing in action. Will peacetime bring peace of mind, or will he be confronted by the consequence of his actions?
Filmed live from the West End, Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You), Tom Glynn-Carney (House of the Dragon), and Hayley Squires (I, Daniel Blake) also feature in this disturbingly prescient play.
National Theatre Live is a telecast and not a live performance at the Museum.
National Theatre Live screenings are made possible in part by the Angela and Leonard Singer Endowment for Performing Arts.
Films at Phxart: Network
July 8, 2026 | 6PM
FREE for Members | $8 for non-Members
This media satire, directed by Sidney Lumet from a brilliantly incisive script by Paddy Chayefsky, is an X-ray of the corrupted soul of a corporate-dominated America, startlingly prescient in its anticipation of today’s outrage-driven news cycle. At a struggling television network, ambitious executive Diana Christensen (Faye Dunaway) finds herself with a hit on her hands when disgruntled newscaster Howard Beale (Peter Finch) goes off script, transforming himself into a mad-as-hell prophet railing against the ills of modern society. But can she control the populist revolution they have unleashed on the airwaves?
Garnering four Oscars, including for Dunaway, Finch, and Chayefsky, this no-holds-barred New Hollywood classic remains as fearlessly funny as it is unnervingly relevant.
