  • Combined Financial Statements
    A LET T E R FRO M THE PRESIDENT Dear Academy Member, I never cease to feel pride when I see yet another excellent program at the Academy, whether its focus is retrospective, or educational, or both. What a wonderful and fulfilling year of programs, be it a reunion of the cast of DAMN YAN KE ES, say, or a talk by Oscar-winning writer Robert Towne or an exhibition of animation art from the former Soviet Union. I'm also proud to be an Academy member every time I get a peek into the boxes and file drawers at our Center for Motion Picture Study, and I'm reminded of the millions of photographs, papers, films and other minutiae of movie history preserved there. By now we should all be aware that the Academy works continuously at saving and preserving the history of the art form, and at honoring and remembering that history with programs in our theaters and exhibitions in our galleries. Why do we do it? The answer is found in the people I see attending that Bob Towne lecture, or sitting in the Library doing research, or oohing at the stunning black-and-white George Hurrell photos on display in the Academy Gallery. Many of them are Academy members. Even more aren't. But whether it's a student researching biographical material for a term paper, or a young director of photography learning lessons of light from Hurrell's images, or a veteran member of our Directors Branch basking in the inspired lunacy of a Chuck Jones cartoon short, what they take away from these activities is precisely the point of all our preservation efforts.
