Making Discoveries in The Film Collection
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
Wilson: The film collection covers the entire range of the filmmaking
experience from all the various creative people –
the producers, the directors, the actors, the production designers, the art directors.
These are the false starts – the personal papers, the revisions,
the creative mind at work.
We have the archive of Robert De Niro,
the papers of such filmmakers as David O. Selznick,
the papers of Gloria Swanson, Paul Schrader,
and over a million film stills from movies from the
very beginning in the silent era to the present day.
There are all kinds of discoveries to be made
by examining and considering these materials.
