'A Century Ago': Academy offering screening of films from 1913 - latimes.com

Cinema was in a state of transition 100 years ago. Films and movie audiences were becoming more sophisticated.  On Friday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will explore this seminal time with "A Century Ago: The Films of 1913" at the Linwood Dunn Theater in Hollywood.  Randy Haberkamp, the academy's managing director for programming, education and preservation, has been presenting these centennial celebrations for the past decade. But this one will be the last where it will primarily be made up of one-reelers — short films that lasted 10 to 12 minutes.
