Academy Film Archive Lays Off Multiple Staff Members in Restructuring as AMPAS Announces Expansions to Collection
The Academy Film Archive has laid off archive and library staff members in a restructuring move, as the Academy Museum announced new acquisitions.
The changes, announced on Wednesday by Academy CEO Bill Kramer in an internal statement obtained by Variety, come as part of an ongoing restructuring initiative at the organization. The organization issued a press release Thursday, touting pieces such as Quentin Tarantino’s original handwritten script draft of “Pulp Fiction,” the tearaway dress worn by Jamie Lee Curtis in James Cameron’s “True Lies” and more than 80 artworks by Hayao Miyazaki and Nobura Yoshida. Since Bill Kramer was tapped to be the organization’s CEO in 2022, the Academy has seen a series of structural changes across many departments, including the promotion of Amy Homma to oversee the museum and the expansion of oversight for Matt Severson, once the head of library operations, who is now overseeing collections, archiving and select elements of the Academy Museum.
