WOW!!! If you are going to find yourself anywhere near Berlin, Germany this coming September geeks you've just got to catch this exhibit, what a science fiction goldmine. Just toooooo cooooooool!!! If you want a peek at some of the kinds of relics to be shown just go to my (Father Geek's)MUSEUM page and scan thru the greatest film moments story you'll see some great shots I took of Harryhausen with several of his creations. After that go to HARRY'S WORLD and flip thru Harry's and my trek thru Forrey Ackerman's collection to see some more of my pics of wonderful artifacts of our Sci-Fi film past. London's Museum of the Moving Image has had Ray's models on exhibit for quite some time, but never in the company of these other great F/X iconic items. This could easily be a once in a lifetime opportunity geeks. Don't let it slip away if you can help it...
The Film Museum of Berlin (Stiftung Deutsche Kinemathek) is preparing a visual effects exhibit that will open in September.
The display will include the Ray Harryhausen collection, items from Metropolis, matte art by the late Albert Whitlock, as well as loans from Gregory Jein, Volker Engel, Phil Tippett Studio and Forrest J. Ackerman.
The German government and the city of Berlin are funding the exhibit.
