The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures continues their devotion to the movie industry, and its storied history, with their upcoming film screening series.

Films are shown in 35mm, 70mm, and digital laser projection in their beautiful 288-seat Ted Mann Theater (TMT) and 1,000-seat David Geffen Theater (DGT). In some cases, films have been restored by the Academy Film Archive or another film partner.
