About this Event

The Hollywood Behind the Lens

Thursday, January 16 | 7:00 pm

Location: Shakespeare Club of Pasadena

171 S. Grand Ave., Pasadena, CA 91105


Los Angeles is a city that runs from its own past. Many of Hollywood’s legendary sets and props, locations, and even the studios and the films they produced are now either gone or have been redeveloped, repurposed, or remade beyond recognition. The physical ephemera such as photographs, production paperwork, and manuscripts associated with movie productions is often MIA as well. Fortunately, for the last fifty years, in the very epicenter of Hollywood, there has existed a haven where over 70,000 of these items, physically or photographically, have been collected and protected. Join historian and Bison Archives owner Marc Wanamaker as he tells the story of Hollywood’s glorious past, as well as its uncertain future as the hub of filmmaking in America.


Marc Wanamaker is a world-class expert and consultant in film history who has worked in many facets of film production, exhibition, and research for several decades. He holds degrees in theater arts, music, and history. He has extensive administration experience with the American Film Institute and is a published historian, lecturer, and teacher who taught film history at UCLA Extension for five years.


Advance reservations required.
