Los Angeles, CA. From the scientific and technological advancements that made color possible, to its emotional and psychological impact on viewers, to the way filmmakers use color as a storytelling tool.
Color in Motion: Chromatic Explorations of Cinema at The Academy Museum investigates the role of color in film, from the scientific and technological advancements that made it possible, to its emotional and psychological impact on viewers, to the ways filmmakers use color as a storytelling tool.
The exhibition takes an immersive and innovative approach to understanding cinematic color through six unique galleries, each focusing on a different aspect of film color. Color in Motion engages visitors through dynamic, colorful film installations and features objects from the silent era through the digital age, including cameras, projectors, costumes, props, animation cels, and film posters.
Object highlights include:
Dorothy’s ruby red slippers from The Wizard of Oz (USA, 1939)
A Color Arcade concludes the exhibition with an opportunity for visitors to physically interact with color through physical movement, inviting them to see, create, and experience “color in motion.”
Color in Motion: Chromatic Explorations of Cinema will also be accompanied by a vibrant catalogue co-published with DelMonico Books.
