  • He Museum of Modern Art 1 West 53Rd Street, New York Telephone: Circle 5-8900 for Immediate Release
    401109 - 68 HE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART 1 WEST 53RD STREET, NEW YORK TELEPHONE: CIRCLE 5-8900 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART OPENS LARGE EXHIBITION OF WORK OF D. W. GRIFFITH, FILM MASTER It is difficult to blueprint genius, but in its exhibition documenting the life and work of David Wark Griffith the Museum cf Modern Art, 11 West 53 Street, will attempt to show the progressive steps through which this American film pioneer between 1909 and 1919 brought to the motion picture the greatest contribution made by any. single individual. In that important decade he taught the movies to become an original and powerful instrument of expression in their own right. The Griffith exhibition.will open to xhe public Wednesday, November 13, simultaneously with an exhibition of the work of another American, the two combined under the title Two Great Ameri­ cans : Frank Lloyd Wright, American Architect and D. W. Griffith, American Film Master. Although at first glance there may seem to be no connection between them, actually a curious parallel exists. America's greatest film director and America's greatest architect, the one in the second decade of this century, the other roughly from 1905 to 1914, had an immense influence on European motion pictures and architecture. After the first World War this influ­ ence was felt in the country of its origin in the guise of new European trends, even though European architects and motion picture directors openly acknowledged their debt to Wright and Griffith. The Griffith exhibition was assembled by Iris Barry, Curator of the Museum's Film Library, and installed by her and Allen Porter, Cir­ culation Director.

  • Alice Guy Blaché
    Alice Guy Blaché Also Known As: Alice Blache, Alice Guy, Alice Guy-Blaché Lived: July 1, 1873 - March 24, 1968 Worked as: assistant director, co-director, co-producer, co-screenwriter, director, film company owner, lecturer, producer, screenwriter, secretary, writer Worked In: France, United States by Alison McMahan From 1896 to 1906 Alice Guy was probably the only woman film director in the world. She had begun as a secretary for Léon Gaumont and made her first film in 1896. After that first film, she directed and produced or supervised almost six hundred silent films ranging in length from one minute to thirty minutes, the majority of which were of the single-reel length. In addition, she also directed and produced or supervised one hundred and fifty synchronized sound films for the Gaumont Chronophone. Her Gaumont silent films are notable for their energy and risk-taking; her preference for real locations gives the extant examples of these Gaumont films a contemporary feel. As Alan Williams has described her influence, Alice Guy “created and nurtured the mood of excitement and sheer aesthetic pleasure that one senses in so many pre-war Gaumont films, including the ones made after her departure from the Paris studio” (57). Most notable of her Gaumont period films is La Vie du Christ (1906), a thirty-minute extravaganza that featured twenty-five sets as well as numerous exterior locations and over three hundred extras. In early 1907, Guy resigned her position as head of Gaumont’s film production arm in Paris although she did not end her business relationship with Gaumont.

  • ASC Founders
    The 15 Founders of the American Society of Cinematographers Biographies By Robert S. Birchard The American Society of Cinematographers succeeded two earlier organizations — the Cinema Camera Club, started by Edison camerapersons Philip E. Rosen, Frank Kugler and Lewis W. Physioc in New York in 1913; and the Static Club of America, a Los Angeles–based society first headed by Universal cameraperson Harry H. Harris. From the beginning, the two clubs had a loose affiliation, and eventually the West Coast organization changed its name to the Cinema Camera Club of California. But, even as the center of film production shifted from New York to Los Angeles — the western cinematographers’ organization was struggling to stay afloat. Rosen came to Los Angeles in 1918. When he sought affiliation with the Cinema Camera Club of California, president Charles Rosher asked if he would help reorganize the faltering association. Rosen sought to create a national organization, with membership by invitation and with a strong educational component. The reorganization committee met in the home of William C. Foster on Saturday, December 21, 1918 and drew up a new set of bylaws. The 10-member committee and five invited Cinema Camera Club member visitors were designated as the board of governors for the new organization. The next evening, in the home of Fred LeRoy Granville, officers for the American Society of Cinematographers were elected — Philip E. Rosen, president; Charles Rosher, vice president; Homer A. Scott, second vice president; William C. Foster, treasurer; and Victor Milner, secretary. The Society was chartered by the State of California on January 8, 1919.

  • Sparrows (1926)
    Sparrows (1926) Closing Night Gala: Sunday 21 March 2021 Music composed by: Taylor and Cameron Graves Sparrows, released in 1926, marks the final time Mary Pickford plays a youngster on the big screen and ​ it was her next to last silent film. She was 33 years old and had already starred in 40 features and more than 100 short films. Over the 17 years she had been making movies, she had become a creative producer, a savvy businesswoman and the highest paid and best-known actress in the world. She was also one of the hardest working people in the business. Between 1912 and 1919, Pickford jumped between a variety of studios, increasing her paychecks astronomically each time until she risked it all to produce her own movies and join with Douglas Fairbanks, D.W. Griffith and Charlie Chaplin to form United Artists to distribute them. She married Fairbanks in 1920 and they ruled the filmmaking world from their Beverly Hills home dubbed Pickfair. They built their own Pickford Fairbanks studio on Santa Monica Blvd and on those 18 acres, they each had their administration offices as well as crew and craftsmen to write, direct and film their movies. Mary had her own bungalow where Doug often joined her for lunch and they came to the studio together in the morning and went home – often very late – together at night. Only a few months before deciding on Sparrows, Mary’s portion of the lot had been a turn of the century, ​ New York tenement for her film Little Annie Rooney.

  • MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES and CLASSICS June 24 - September 30, 1994
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release May 1994 MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES AND CLASSICS June 24 - September 30, 1994 A retrospective celebrating the seventieth anniversary of Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer, the legendary Hollywood studio that defined screen glamour and elegance for the world, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on June 24, 1994. MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES AND CLASSICS comprises 112 feature films produced by MGM from the 1920s to the present, including musicals, thrillers, comedies, and melodramas. On view through September 30, the exhibition highlights a number of classics, as well as lesser-known films by directors who deserve wider recognition. MGM's films are distinguished by a high artistic level, with a consistent polish and technical virtuosity unseen anywhere, and by a roster of the most famous stars in the world -- Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Judy Garland, Greta Garbo, and Spencer Tracy. MGM also had under contract some of Hollywood's most talented directors, including Clarence Brown, George Cukor, Vincente Minnelli, and King Vidor, as well as outstanding cinematographers, production designers, costume designers, and editors. Exhibition highlights include Erich von Stroheim's Greed (1925), Victor Fleming's Gone Hith the Hind and The Wizard of Oz (both 1939), Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and Ridley Scott's Thelma & Louise (1991).
