About the installation
Step inside the light with the mesmerizing, two-story Glow: A Cinematic Moodscape at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. This new installation is a multi-sensory, immersive experience centered on six aesthetic themes that moviemakers have revisited again and again—Sunrise and Sunset, Moon, Neon, Candlelight, Fireworks, and Campfire—integrating synchronized projections, dynamic lighting, and an original music score to take visitors on a cinematic journey. Each theme features compelling imagery from hundreds of beloved movies that span genres, countries, and time periods—and that have captured color and light in unforgettable ways—coming together to fill two stories with dazzling luminosity.
Glow: A Cinematic Moodscape is organized by Associate Curator Dara Jaffe.
