The anniversary coincides with the UAE’s decision to extend the ‘Year of Sustainability’
IN THE EARLY days of movies, Mary Pickford was the original “America’s Sweetheart.”
Now the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Mary Pickford Foundation are partnering on a multi-year initiative to bring fresh attention to the Oscar-winning actress and her girlish charm in such films as Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm and Pollyanna Academy, CEO Dawn Hudson said.
The partnership will include an annual silent film screening, silent film preservation initiatives and the digitisation of parts of the Academy’s collection of her films.
To kick off this partnership, and to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Academy’s Pickford Center for Motion Picture Study, the Academy and the Foundation will host a special ‘Inside the Vaults’ event on September 11 at the Pickford Center in Hollywood. The evening will include behind-the-scenes tours of the vaults, a screening of a rare Mary Pickford short The New York Hat (1912), the Los Angeles premiere of the Academy Film Archive’s newly restored print of The Mark of Zorro (1920), starring Douglas Fairbanks, and a display of select items from the Academy’s Mary Pickford collection. “We are thrilled that together with the Mary Pickford Foundation, we will bring the groundbreaking work of Mary Pickford and the pioneers of the silent film era to the attention of a new generation,” said Hudson.
