Hollywood is coming to the ransomcenter with a special 'Celebration of Film' gala in September with Robert De Niro, who donated his archive to the center
in 2006, and that relationship continues with the event. Moreover, that support will add a new element with the establishment of the new De Niro Curator Film endowment, and the celebration will provide financial security to the fund.
“I strongly believe in and support what the Harry Ransom Center does to open the creative process of filmmaking to students and the community,” De Niro said. “The Center has done a remarkable job curating a breadth of collections underscoring the history of the art form and the business.” “It is a privilege to welcome Robert De Niro, a great friend of the Ransom Center and ardent supporter of the arts, to Austin as we celebrate 65 years of archiving important American cultural history,” said Harry Ransom Center Director Stephen Enniss. “This endowment will support the ongoing work to preserve film history and inspire the next generation of filmmakers.”
A Celebration of Film, Sat., Sept. 24, Zlotnik Family Ballroom, AT&T Center at the University of Texas at Austin. Tickets, sponsorships, and information at
