(NEWARK, NJ) -- Join the Newark Museum of Art for a special screening of Nanny, the winner of this year’s Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, on Wednesday, November 9 at 7:00pm. Nanny is a gem of a horror film that combines impressive filmmaking and powerful storytelling. Admission is free, but advance registration is required.
