The exhibition will expand into sections on the early years of film design, new directions, and Dickens and Film Design over the next two years. Illuminating film clips will be included.
Other exhibitions at Kent MOMI include World War I on Film and in the Media, which explores attempts to capture modern warfare on film during and after the war, and Peeping and Projecting, which delves into 19th-century magic lantern dissolving views and world-in-a-box peepshows.
