About Norman Studios
This is a museum and historic silent film studio complex. Founded in 1916 as Eagle Film City, the Jacksonville site was purchased by filmmaker Richard E. Norman in the early 1920s. Norman Studios became known for producing race films with African American characters in positive, non-stereotypical roles. Its five-building campus in the Old Arlington neighborhood is the only surviving silent film studio complex in Jacksonville. The nonprofit organization works to preserve and present the history of silent movies and race films in Northeast Florida, and aims to restore and reopen the site as a film history, research, learning, and tourism center. Visitors can attend silent film screenings and presentations. The site is open on the first and third Saturdays, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., subject to change.
