A big thanks to all that helped make the gala possible, we could not have done it without you. We’d like to extend congratulations to each of our honorees. Take a look at the wonderful evening:

As a National Historic Landmark and the leading museum of photography and film in the world, Eastman House is excited to be building a stronger presence in New York City as well as encouraging a stronger appreciation and awareness of the importance of photography and film preservation. Through this gala, we will honor not only those who have made long standing critical contributions to the worlds of film and photography, but will also highlight the accomplishments of rising stars who are changing the face of photography and motion pictures.

This is a Black & White Affair.
