The Dryden Theatre was constructed in 1951 after a donation from George and Ellen Dryden, George Eastman's niece. The first film to be shown at the Dryden was [[Jean Renoir]]’s silent film ''[[Nana (1926 film)|Nana]]'' (1924). The museum's founding film curator [[James Card]] (1915–2000) was a pioneer in the archival world and a close friend and confidant of [[Henri Langlois]] of the [[Cinémathèque Française]] in Paris. Together, they helped contribute to the appreciation of film as an art form.<br />
