GEORGE EASTMAN HOUSE NAMES NEW CURATOR OF MOTION PICTURES

Caroline Frick has been named curator of motion pictures at George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film, the third-largest film archive in the United States. Assuming her position on March 1, she is the sixth curator of motion pictures in the museum’s sixty-one-year history. She has previously worked in film preservation at Warner Bros., the Library of Congress, and the National Archives in Washington, DC.

At Eastman House, she oversees motion-picture-preservation efforts and the L. Jeffrey Selznick School of Film Preservation, as well as the care of the motion-picture collections and programming for the Dryden Theater and 360 | 365 George Eastman House Film Festival. She also will assume teaching responsibilities in film studies at the University of Rochester.

“Frick is an international intellectual leader in motion pictures,” said Anthony Bannon, the Ron and Don Fielding Director of George Eastman House. “Her strength is in the scope of her experience and her strong advocacy for access and education. These factors make her the ideal curator of our collection and leader of all of our motion-picture efforts.”
