About this event


S11 Film Director's home movies, behind the scenes

Henry Koster, a celebrated film director, was an avid photographer, capturing life with still and 8mm cameras.  His restored personal films, offering a rare glimpse into his life and work, are preserved in the Motion Picture Academy archives and are now available on DVD, curated by his son Bob and narrated by Henry.  The collection features rare 1934–35 footage of Henry directing in Europe before his immigration to the USA and exclusive behind-the-scenes moments from his Hollywood career at Universal Pictures, spanning the late 1930s to 1950.
