SUMMARY:Zoom | Anne & Elizabeth: The Mother and Daughter Who Changed History by Tracy Borman
DESCRIPTION:Tudor historian and author Tracy Borman will lecture on the most fascinating relationship of the Tudor era as well as unravel and reframe the story of a mother and daughter\, Anne Boleyn and Elizabeth I\, who changed the course of British history. From her new book—the first-ever joint portrait of the pair—Borman\, England’s joint Chief Curator of Historic Royal Palaces\,  uncovers the many details belying the speculations surrounding Henry VIII and his wives\, and the Virgin Queen’s possible liaisons.  Anne Boleyn may be best known for her hasty marriage and untimely end\, but her greatest legacy is inextricably tied to the reign of her daughter the future Queen Elizabeth.  Borman will explain how Anne was instrumental in reshaping Britain’s religious and political traditions and her years of wielding power over a male dominated court provided a role model for her daughter\, Elizabeth.  Indeed\, Borman will show how much Elizabeth I was influenced by her mother’s legacy in her personal life. She will shed new light on the private desires\, hopes\, and fears that lay beyond their public personas. Finally\, Borman will reveal how both women broke the mold for British queens and for women as a whole during their time. \n \nTRACY BORMAN is England’s joint Chief Curator of Historic Royal Palaces and Chief Executive of the Heritage Education Trust. She is the author of many highly acclaimed books\, including Crown & Sceptre\, Henry VIII and the Men Who Made Him\, The Private Lives of the Tudors\, Thomas Cromwell\, Queen of the Conqueror\, Elizabeth’s Women\, Witches\, as well as the trilogy of novels The King’s Witch\, The Devil’s Slave\, and The Fallen Angel. Borman is also a regular broadcaster and accomplished public speaker. \nRent the Recording and watch at your convenience! \nThe Zoom video link will be sent to you on Friday\, February 16 at 12:00 p.m. noon (eastern). \nIf you do not receive the rental link in your receipt\, please email us at zoom@royal-oak.org

SUMMARY:Zoom Rental | Cinema on Paper: Collecting Film Posters with Dwight Cleveland
DESCRIPTION:Cinema on Paper: Collecting Film Posters \nTwentieth Century Fox (presents) (as Twentieth Century-Fox)BUS STOP (1956) Marilyn Monroe (Costume Design: Travilla); U. K. Double Crown (Tom Chantrell art) \nThe history of film and Hollywood has long captivated the imaginations of audiences worldwide. From the early days of cinema\, movie posters and other ephemera have served as powerful tools to entice viewers and leave a lasting impression. One distinguished member of the Royal Oak Foundation\, Mr. Dwight Cleveland\, known by his internet handle “PosterBoss\,” eloquently described how poster artists “captured the soul” of films and “reduce the entire essence of a movie into a single vivid sheet”. Driven by his appreciation for the graphic nature of movie posters\, Cleveland began his collection in high school and has since amassed a remarkable archive of over 4\,000 posters and related cinematic advertising. His collection features examples from iconic studios such as Warner Bros.\, Fox\, MGM\, Paramount\, and RKO. \nEncompassing a diverse array of genres including musicals\, comedies\, westerns\, war films\, sci-fi thrillers\, dramas\, and more\, Cleveland’s collection offers a rich tapestry of cinematic history and a panorama of American culture. In an exclusive lecture\, Mr. Cleveland will share his passion for collecting this captivating art form and explore its profound impact on popular culture. Drawing from his extensive collection\, he will showcase a selection of posters\, highlighting their artistic diversity and international significance. Sharing posters from 37 countries\, he will offer a fascinating glimpse into the global appeal of film posters. Join us for an enlightening discussion as Mr. Dwight Cleveland illuminates the artistry and cultural significance of film posters\, providing insight into their enduring legacy in the world of cinema. \n\nDwight Cleveland\n\n \n is a 48-year veteran of collecting and advocating for vintage film posters. In 1981\, Dwight published the first article on film posters while a junior at Columbia College. The 2019 Norton Museum exhibition in West Palm Beach of his Classic Films collection was the first of it’s kind for the art form. The exhibition at Poster House in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood was another first highlighting Women Behind the Camera during the silent film era. Dwight has been quoted and interviewed in various publications including The Wall Street Journal\, The New York Times\, Film Collector’s World\, Forbes\, BBC\, NPR\, The ROBB Report\, Nitrateville and POPCandy. The British publication Art of the Movies has called him the ‘Indiana Jones of Movie Posters.’ Two major acquisitions were highlighted in NBC’s series The Hunt for Amazing Treasure in 1992 and 1994. Assouline Publishing released his book\, CINEMA ON PAPER: The Graphic Genius of Movie Posters in 2019. Dwight entered into an Artificial Intelligence project with Dartmouth College in 2022 boosting their data set from 2\,500 to over 25\,000 giving the project scale and attracting support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. He was subsequently named to the newly created post of Associate Visual Cultural Curator\, Department of Film & Media Studies\, Dartmouth College.\n\nThis year Dwight’s collection of Anna May Wong lobby cards was a ‘pop-up’ earlier in March at the San Diego Chinese Historical Museum. It will travel later in the year to Chicago. And to New York a year from now.\nHis collection of Maria Félix posters\, the Mexican film diva\, will be on exhibition at the American University of Paris this Winter.
