The George Eastman Museum will host 15 Years of Draft: A Retrospective of the RIT Student-Run Publication. The exhibition and the publication are organized and executed by photography students in the College of Art and Design at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).

In 2005, a group of photography students at RIT devised Draft in response to a challenge posed by their bookmaking professor, Owen Butler, to create a school-wide magazine in which students could express themselves outside of critiques and academia.

Rochester, N.Y., February 19, 2020—
The George Eastman Museum recently announced that Portrait of Jennie (William Dieterle, 1948) will screen on Thursday, June 4 at 7:30 p.m. to kick off the 6th Nitrate Picture Show. Traditionally, the Nitrate Picture Show has kept all of the film titles a secret until the first day of the festival. Due to the overwhelmingly rave reviews to the initial screening of Portrait of Jennie during the 1st Nitrate Picture Show in 2015, festival organizers have decided to give festival-goers another chance to experience it on the big screen. The George Eastman Museum will be screening David O. Selznick’s
Still from Portrait of Jennie
