Share Email Opening Title Research Assistant, PST Color in Motion   Description The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures furthers the understanding, celebration, and preservation of cinema through inclusive and accessible exhibitions, screenings, programs, initiatives, and collections. Welcoming visitors from Los Angeles and around the world, the Museum works in active partnership with motion picture artists and specialists, scholars, staff, and diverse communities to contextualize and challenge dominant narratives around cinema, inspiring discourse, connection, joy, and discovery. Color in Motion will investigate the science, technology, and psychology behind filmmakers’ experiments with color, focusing on two key moments of color innovation: The Silent Era and the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Color in Motion will also explore the underrecognized contributions of women as technicians and the development of early industrial color processes, some familiar and some now lost to history. An experiential, multi-screen “kaleidoscope” planned for the exhibition will present historical film clips calibrated to their original colors by a team of preservation specialists and juxtapose them with monochrome imagery from contemporary films. A second gallery will examine the history of these colors and the technologies that enabled their creation on screen.
