We plan to showcase classics from the very beginning of Hollywood’s golden era, while introducing new media projects. There will be an opening night “Great Gatsby” gala, a closing night black tie Awards Ceremony, and every evening we will host a post-screening mixer at a venue that reflects Old Hollywood — an era of grace, elegance, and mystery.”
