The Science and Technology Council of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), in partnership with The Charles Guggenheim Center for the Documentary Film and the Foundation for the National Archives, presents an illustrated lecture by Rob "Dr. Format" Hummel, tracing the history of motion picture formats from the silent era to the 21st century. Hummel is a member of the Academy’s Science and Technology Council. Following the lecture, we will present the 1988 feature film, Tucker: The Man and His Dream (110 minutes.) Featuring outstanding wide screen cinematography by Vittorio Storaro, this stylish film tells the true story of Preston Tucker (Jeff Bridges), who in the late 1940s challenged the Big Three automakers with his innovative designs and safety features. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola. We will be screening a 35mm print courtesy of AMPAS.
The event was introduced by Marvin Pinkert, Executive Director, Center for the National Archives Experience.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
