Color in Motion: Chromatic Explorations of Cinema – the recently opened exhibition at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles – investigates the role of color in film, from the scientific and technological advancements that made it possible, to its emotional and psychological impact on viewers, to the ways filmmakers use color as a storytelling tool.
Senior Exhibitions Curator Jessica Niebel explains the development, concept and challenges for Color in Motion: Chromatic Explorations of Cinema at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles.
Color in Motion consists of six distinct galleries and together they form a visitor experience that takes visitors through different chapters, looking at different aspects of the history of color.
The interview was conducted by Barbara Flueckiger, Timeline of Historical Film Colors / Scan2Screen.
