LACMA presents a conversation among key Burton collaborators from across nearly three decades, moderated by Ron Magliozzi, associate curator, MoMA Department of Film and co-organizer of the Tim Burton exhibition.  Academy Award–nominated composer Danny Elfman, Academy Award–winning costume designer Colleen Atwood, and Academy Award–winning art director, sculptor, installation designer, and production designer Rick Heinrichs discuss their work bringing Burton’s vision off the page and into three-dimensional space in films such as Vincent, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Batman, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Ed Wood, and more.  

Followed by a rare screening of Edward Scissorhands in 70mm!

Bing Theater | $10 general admission; $7 LACMA members, seniors (62+), and students with valid ID; $5 for Edward Scissorhands only (approx. start time 9 pm). Tickets: 323 857-6010 or purchase online.
