Deborah Stoiber: The Rescue of Indian Cinema

Saturday, January 9, 2016, 12 p.m., 7Crest Financial Partners Hall

Have you ever wondered how a large collection is found and donated to a museum? Or have you pondered how a museum packs and carries new collection materials back to the vaults? Stoiber, collection manager in the Moving Image Department, tells how the Eastman Museum found itself with the opportunity to collect what is now the largest collection of contemporary Indian cinema in the world.

At the George Eastman Museum’s monthly Focus 45 talks, museum insiders and special guests offer interesting anecdotes about its collections, temporary exhibitions, and more.
