His unique programs, blending adult education and a love of motion pictures have sold out at The Smithsonian and The Library of Congress, at Oxford, The Sorbonne, and The Carpenter Center at Harvard University. His Evening with John Cleese at the Smithsonian recently drew 1,500 fans and sold out on announcement. He addressed the United Nations delivering the keynote at the first annual conference on motion picture.

His critically acclaimed series, Reflections on the Silver Screen featured 50 in-depth conversations with screen legends ranging from Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn to Jimmy Stewart and Katharine Hepburn. (Commissioned by The Library of Congress, it has been termed “...the definitive archive on American film in the 20th Century.”) Prof. Brown is revisiting these interviews with a 21st Century perspective in his new TV series, The Great American Movie Star, set to premiere on WNET in late 2013.
