FILM NOTES

Forrest Gump was released by Paramount Pictures in July 1994, directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Tom Hanks in the title role. The film swept that year's Academy Awards, taking home six Oscars including Best Picture and Best Actor. Blending fictional narrative with decades of American history, it became one of the defining cultural touchstones of the 1990s and remains among the highest-grossing films ever produced.

This cell presents three consecutive frames from a single interior scene featuring Forrest Gump, captured mid-shot as he stands inside what appears to be a formal setting, a second figure visible in the background near a door. The strip runs inverted within the encapsulation, offering a distinctive presentation of this quiet, character-driven moment.
