Speaker Gary Fry
Lost pieces of art from the golden age of Hollywood have been rediscovered and are now in a new home, at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Glasgow.
Six original backdrops from the early Metro Goldwyn Mayer film archive have generously been donated to the RCS Scenic Art department from the Art Directors Guild, Archive.
These pieces were created by George Gibson, a Scot who trained in Glasgow before moving to Hollywood in the early 20th century to pioneer the new art form of painted film backdrops.
Join us for a talk hosted by scenic art lecturer Gary Fry to find out more about how these iconic pieces of film history were created and used on the big screen.
Included in your ticket is a cuppa and a slice of cake.
