The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is set next month to debut its first permanent exhibition, which will examine the start of the American studio film industry in the early 20th century in Los Angeles and the impact predominately Jewish filmmakers had on turning the California city into \u201ca global epicenter of cinema,\u201d the museum announced on Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hollywoodland: Jewish Founders and the Making of a Movie Capital<\/i>\u00a0will open on May 19 in the LAIKA Gallery of the museum, which is located in Los Angeles. \u201cIt details how the American movie industry \u2014 built predominately by Jewish immigrants \u2014 transformed Los Angeles into the mythological concept of \u2018Hollywood\u2019 that prevails today, as well as the complex legacy that the studio system leaves behind,\u201d the museum explained.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe American film industry began developing amid an influx of immigration to the United States by Jewish \u00e9migr\u00e9s escaping European pogroms and poverty,\u201d said Dara Jaffe, the exhibit\u2019s associate curator. \u201cMost of Hollywood\u2019s founders were among this wave of Jewish immigrants and recognized that the infant movie business presented an opportunity to raise their marginalized status in an industry that didn\u2019t enforce the same antisemitic barriers as many other professions.\u00a0Hollywoodland\u00a0<\/i>also\u00a0<\/i>posits the question: how and why did Los Angeles bloom into a world-renowned cinema capital? The goal of our exhibition is to show the inextricable dovetailing of these histories.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition is divided into three sections that visitors can view in any order. \u201cStudio Origins\u201d explores the founding of Hollywood\u2019s original eight \u201cmajor\u201d film studios, which are often referred to as \u201cthe majors\u201d \u2014 Universal, Fox (later Twentieth Century-Fox), Paramount, United Artists, Warner Bros., Columbia, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and RKO \u2014 and their studio heads.<\/span><\/p>\n

The section of the exhibit titled \u201cLos Angeles: From Film Frontier to Industry Town, 1902\u20131929\u201d follows the evolution and advancement of the movie industry in Los Angeles. A third section \u2014 \u201cFrom the Shtetl to the Studio: The Jewish Story of Hollywood\u201d \u2014 features an original short documentary that \u201cdelves into the nuances of Hollywood\u2019s Jewish history, exploring how the shared backgrounds of the industry founders weave together a complex immigrant story characterized by both oppression and innovation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The documentary further \u201cexamines how antisemitism shaped the founders\u2019 trajectories throughout their careers and how their projected vision of an immigrant\u2019s American Dream came to define America itself on movie screens around the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Academy Museum Director and President Jacqueline Stewart said the stories shared in\u00a0Hollywoodland<\/i>\u00a0\u201cbring the intertwined histories of Los Angeles and the Hollywood studio system to life and resonate with stories of immigrants from around the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition\u2019s opening day will feature a conversation with Jaffe and\u00a0book signing<\/a>\u00a0with Neal Gabler, a film critic who advised on the exhibit and wrote\u00a0An Empire of their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Academy Museum is the largest museum in the United States dedicated to the arts, sciences, and artists of filmmaking.<\/span><\/p>\n
