Throughout 2018, Yale celebrates 50 years of collecting film, a practice that began with the University's acquisition of the John Griggs Collection of Classic Films in 1968. These early films formed the foundation for a film archive that has grown to include nearly 6,000 35mm and 16mm titles. Visit Film50 to learn more about Yale's first film collection and find out about upcoming events.
