John Baker Film Collection Exhibit April 16, 2010

The JBFC exhibit focuses on the first three areas of a planned series of rotating thematic content: "Big Bands," "Women in Jazz," and "African-American Dance and Jazz," with commentary from renowned African-American film expert Pearl Bowser. It also features new state-of-the-art SoundShower(R) technology, never-before-seen photos, and individual film viewing kiosks where users can browse through dozens of clips and "soundies," short-film-performnaces that serve as the precursor to today's music video.
