Smithsonian 175th Film Fest

Looking at the Future: Yesterday's Tomorrows

 When: Thursday, November 18, 5 p.m. ET

Registration: siarchives.si.edu/...

What will the future hold? We can't predict it, but we do try to shape it-and so have those who came before us. As part of our ongoing Smithsonian 175th Film Fest series, the Smithsonian Libraries and Archives invites you to a screening of Yesterday's Tomorrows: Visions of the Future on Film, featured in a 1984 National Museum of American History exhibit that examined how past visions of the future continue to impact our present and inspire even further futures. Join Smithsonian Libraries and Archives conservator William Bennett on November 18 at 5 p.m. ET to explore retro-futurism and get excited for the Smithsonian's upcoming celebration of future-looking innovation in FUTURES, the inaugural exhibition of the newly reopening historic Arts and Industries Building. We look forward to seeing you there!

About the Smithsonian 175th Film Fest: Films from the Smithsonian Institution Archives

 To celebrate the Smithsonian's 175th anniversary, the Smithsonian Libraries and Archives is hosting monthly programs featuring films from the collections of the Smithsonian Institution Archives. The series will be hosted virtually between August 2021 and August 2022.

In addition to the film screenings, archivists, conservators, and subject experts will also provide some context to the videos, share a little about their work, and answer questions from the audience during the one-hour programs. These screenings will also be the first instance that the films have ever been made available online to the public.

*Please note that due to copyright restrictions, this particular film will not be streamed or saved to the Smithsonian Institution Archives YouTube channel. Viewers must register for the Zoom webinar.
