The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures has unveiled its lineup of film series, public events and educational programs for fall 2024.

Highlights of the fall programming include a new 4K restoration of “Burden of Dreams” presented by Werner Herzog, a conversation with Rita Moreno followed by a screening of “West Side Story” and a five-film “Godzilla-Thon!,” which coincides with a day-long anniversary celebration of the first “Gojria” film.

The Academy Museum will also debut two new exhibitions in the fall season. “Color in Motion: Chromatic Explorations of Cinema,” which investigates the use of color in film, and “Cyberpunk: Envisioning Possible Futures Through Cinema,” which explores the cyberpunk sci-fi subgenre, both open to the public Oct. 6.

“This fall, we’ve curated a season of programming that allows audiences to engage with enduring movie icons—from Godzilla to Rita Moreno—as well as the many crafts that make these movies come to life on our screens,” said Academy Museum director and president Amy Homma. “With the opening of Color in Motion and Cyberpunk, its accompanying programming, and beyond, all our audiences are encouraged to visit us this season to see what’s new and celebrate what is timeless.”
