Color in Motion explores the power of color as a filmmaking tool, the science and technologies behind it, and its impact on audiences.
The story of color is told in high-energy film clips, photographs, posters, production cels, color charts, equipment, and iconic costumes. From armies (of mostly women) painters, who hand-painted each frame on a film, to the development of technicolor — film preservationist and expert Barbara Flueckiger along with curator Jessica Niebel guide us through the preservation process and the complicated history behind color in celluloid.
