The George Eastman Museum celebrated 75 years on November 9, 2024. Since its opening, the museum has had a film collection, begun by James Card, the first director of the film department. Since that time, the collection has grown to more than 28,000 titles across all periods of cinema, and while half of the films screened at the Dryden Theatre come from that collection, there are still many treasures in the vaults yet to be seen by its audience. Throughout 2025, the Dryden will bring these treasures out in three sub-series: Recent Acquisitions, Prized Preservations, and The Astonishing Archive: Unexpected Finds. These films may also cross over with other series, so keep an eye out for these special screenings!
