LOS ANGELES, CALIF.- The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures today announced details of its two marquee Fall 2024 exhibitions, Color in Motion: Chromatic Explorations of Cinema and Cyberpunk: Envisioning Possible Futures Through Cinema, on view October 6, 2024.

Color in Motion investigates the role of color in film, from the technological advancements that made its use possible, to the ways filmmakers use color as a storytelling tool, to its psychological impact on audiences. On view October 6, 2024–July 13, 2025, this exhibition highlights the role color has played since the earliest days of film history—both as a tool for technological experimentation and artistic expression.

The exhibition features technologies from Technicolor and Eastman Color, objects such as the legendary ruby slippers designed by Gilbert Adrian from The Wizard of Oz (1939), the green dress designed by Edith Head and worn by Kim Novak in Vertigo (1958), a Wonka chocolate bar from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971), a blue ensemble worn by Jaime Foxx as Django in Django Unchained (2012), many animations and films, and a recreation of the stargate corridor from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), which will transport visitors into a colorverse.

Jessica Niebel, Senior Exhibitions Curator, said, “Color in Motion will offer visitors both dynamic learning opportunities and emotional connection through an engagement of the senses. Exploring color through the lenses of technology, artistry, and experimentation, the exhibition is as entertaining as it is informational.”

Cyberpunk, on view October 6, 2024–April 12, 2026, examines the global impact and lasting influence of the science fiction subgenre cyberpunk on film culture. The Academy Museum’s presentation explores this genre through an international and multigenerational lens, featuring more than 25 films, including Blade Runner (1982), Tron (1982), Videodrome (1983), Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), The Matrix (1999), Sleep Dealer (2008), and Alita: Battle Angel (2019), as well as Afrofuturist films, including Pumzi (2009) from Kenya, Neptune Frost (2021) from Rwanda, and Indigenous futurist films, such as Night Raiders (2021) from Canada.

“With the rapid advancement of new technologies, including artificial intelligence, now feels like an especially relevant moment to present an exhibition on cyberpunk cinema,” said Vice President of Curatorial Affairs Doris Berger. “I’m particularly excited that our exhibition presents classic cyberpunk movies alongside more recent futurist films from around the world.”
