AND THE BOB BULLOCK MUSEUM TO MEET
UP WITH EXHIBIT CURATOR, FRANK THOMPSON!
EXHIBITS
Texas Movies
July 9 - September 4, 2005
From the first documentary footage ever captured of the
Galveston Hurricane in 1900 to the recent explosion in
filmmaking activities, Texas has made significant cinematic
contributions over the past 100 years. The upcoming exhibit,
Texas Movies, pays tribute to movies made in the Lone Star State.
Texas' own homegrown filmmakers take the spotlight, from the
unique vision of contemporary directors like Richard Linklater
(Slacker), Robert Rodriquez (Spy Kids, Sin City),
Tim McCanlies (Secondhand Lions, Dancer, Texas Pop. 81) and
Wes Anderson (Bottle Rocket, Rushmore) to the work of historic
exas-based production companies, including the early westerns of
the Star Film Ranch, Spanish language films made along the border,
and rare films from the 1940s produced by Sack Film Amusement
in Dallas.
See artifacts from more than 80 films, including the oil-drenched
clothes donned by James Dean in Giant (1956), a script for State
Fair (1962), the vintage Chevy Bel Air police cruiser from Sin City
(2005), lobby cards for The Sugarland Express (1974) and
Cloris Leachman's Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in The Last
Picture Show (1971). Organized by the Bob Bullock Texas State
History Museum and curated by author Frank Thompson, this
exhibit brings together the films that celebrate the Texas myth
and mystique, along with the documentaries, sci-fi films,
dramas, musicals, horror flicksand comedies that help tell the story
of Texas Movies.
