Other SEO Thoughts:
I would first find a keyword phrase that better describes this page. What makes it different from the home page of the site? The page headline implies that these are paintings associated with old films. I would target that. Then add more text, both as alt text and page content. Information like clicking on thumbnails should be much smaller, as it's not important content and perhaps at the bottom below the paintings. Finally, get rid of those strange paragraphs with just \"1\" in them at the very top of your HTML. This is confusing to search engines and wastes valuable real-estate in your HTML.
