Are welcome here. but haile gerima, a leading figure in black american independent cinema, wonders just how long this spirit of inclusiveness on the part of the academy museum will last. gerima is a radicalfilmmaker whose credits include the atlantic slave trade story sankofa. he has just received a vantage award from the museum, recognising an individual who has challenged dominant narratives in cinema. he views hollywood with disdain, as a white supremacist stronghold. in some respects, though, he applauds the museum for giving him the award. i respect them for trying to use me to recognise the excluded people in a very exclusive white supremacist club. the museum could be inclusive, it can, but then again, who is going to continue what it started? ....

Of a converted old department store from 1939 connected to an adventurous brand new futuristic structure, which has been designed to provide america s film capital with something it s never had before a cathedral for movies. we hope that the academy museum becomes the centre place for people coming to los angeles, looking for a sense of movie magic, looking to learn about cinema, looking to get connected to the academy. right now the academy is mainly the oscars, which people see once a year, globally. this is a home for the work of the academy and for the history of cinema and we hope that tourists turn to us for that. the museum is also a striking feat of design, the work of renowned italian architect renzo piano. he believes the complex he has created somehow reflects the wonders of cinema. when you make a building, you must create a building that tells a story of what ....

And bruce the shark from the moviejaws. it s also a museum exploring the science of filmmaking. throughout our galleries, especially in stories of cinema, you will learn about visual effects, cinematography, you will learn about the core science and technology components of how movies are made, so it s really powerful, to look at these physical pieces of equipment and to learn about the artists and the scientists who created both the science behind it and the physical apparatus, to bring special effects and the science of moviemaking to the public. # it was a clear black night, a clear white moon # warren g was on the streets, trying to consume. the academy museum was originally intended to be a largely uncritical celebration of the movie industry. ....
