The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences

Set decoration highlighted at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences!

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences focuses on set decoration in the new exhibition, Pulling Back the Drapes: Set Decoration Revealed, which runs from May 16 through August 24, 2008, in the Academy’s 4th floor Gallery.

Visitors walk through vignettes and portions of sets re-created from seven current films typical of a range of challenges engaged by set decorators. Guests at the free exhibition, which is open to the public, can view behind-the-scenes footage, watch interviews with the set decorators and take a look at some of the tools of the profession.


For more information on all the sets, photos and interviews with the Decorators go to the SDSA Website.
