Introducing a very special Granada Centennial Film series:
Santa Barbara Home Movies
Films by Artists and Performers Who Call Santa Barbara Home
Featuring Classics from Andrew Davis and Robert Zemeckis!
There was a time when Santa Barbara was at the very center of the burgeoning filmmaking industry, more prolific and influential than Hollywood and on a par with any other filmmaking locale.
From the moment it opened in 1924, The Granada played a vital role as a showcase for the increasingly popular new form of entertainment. In 1930, Warner Brothers acquired The Granada, and for the next three decades, The Granada was the host to multiple star-studded film premieres, dozens of Hollywood “sneak previews” and a showcase for first-run features.
So, with deep respect for our heritage as a Grand Movie Palace,
and in recognition and awe of the wealth of talent we have in our midst,
The Granada is proud to present Santa Barbara Home Movies.
We’ve got some very special “home movies” lined up and we’ve invited some of the creators to join us on stage to talk about their films.
We’re planning more Santa Barbara Home Movies over the course of the year.
We are truly excited to continue The Granada’s heritage as a celebrated movie palace in a very personal, very Santa Barbara way.
After all,
This is Your Granada.
