The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced its fall programming lineup this week for both Los Angeles and New York. A full schedule and tickets for the screenings can be found here: oscars.org/events. The fall slate will highlight two new programming series. The Academy’s Margaret Herrick Library created a new speaker series, Words on Film, that invites writers and filmmakers to discuss their work and their creative and research processes with the public in a casual, dynamic way. In addition, the Academy presents the inaugural Robert Osborne Celebration of Classic Film, a new series funded by the Robert Osborne Estate designed to return classic films to the big screen for new audiences.
