During the renovation process for The Egyptian Theatre, the American Cinematheque salvaged the theater’s original movie screen, and had it divided into pieces. They had each piece of the screen autographed by a top filmmaker or performer and placed in a custom lucite frame, intending to create meaningful keepsakes for film and history lovers alike.
Proceeds support the non-profit’s ongoing work of restoring 35mm classic film prints that are no longer in circulation, as well as films from filmmakers of color. Funds raised will also support the American Cinematheque’s archive of 40 years of filmmaker discussions for film students, cinephiles, and movie-lovers everywhere
