Hollywoodland
Hollywoodland: Jewish Founders and the Making of a Movie Capital, presented in English and Spanish, tells the origin story of filmmaking in early 20th-century Los Angeles, spotlighting the impact of the predominately Jewish filmmakers whose establishment of the American film studio system transformed Los Angeles into a global epicenter of cinema.
This immersive gallery conveys the evolving topography of Los Angeles along the timeline of the developing movie industry, encouraging further exploration of the city’s landmarks. The exhibition spotlights the Jewish founders of the Hollywood studio system, foregrounding the ways in which the birth of the American film industry—and the depiction of the American Dream—is at its heart an immigrant story. By exploring the origins of major studios as well as independent film production in Los Angeles, the exhibition conveys impactful stories of ingenuity and offers a deeper understanding of motion picture history.
Hollywoodland is curated by Associate Curator Dara Jaffe and is the Academy Museum’s first permanent exhibition.
