Art Deco on Screen: A Centennial Celebration
April 5–26
This year marks the 100th anniversary of Art Deco, the iconic global design movement with an enduring legacy that has inspired architecture, graphic arts, fashion, interior design, jewelry, music, transportation, furniture and — of course — movies. Join us for a cinematic tribute to Art Deco's bold modernist vision as we celebrate the centennial of the 1925 Paris International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts (from which the movement eventually took its name) with four films of the era that showcase spectacular Art Deco elements — including set design, costume design and choreography — on the big screen, surrounded by AFI Silver's own Art Deco splendor.
Co-presented with the Art Deco Society of Washington.
