On Friday, March 21, 2025 from 2-3:30pm on Zoom, join us for a virtual program and learn more about golden age Hollywood.
From the late 1920s through the end of World War II, studios like MGM, Warner Bros, 20th Century Fox, Paramount, and RKO would dominate film production, not only in America but throughout the world. Join us as we explore the forces that made Hollywood the giant of global film-making and the special nature of its achievements during its Golden Age, including discussions of studio politics and economics, the star system, and the nature of the movie-going experience.
