View Sunset Boulevard on the big screen.

The German American Heritage Center and Museum and The Last Picture House are happy to bring a series of classic films to the big screen.

Step into the dramatic world of 1930s Hollywood, where the silver screen became a beacon of hope and resistance. As the Nazi regime took hold in Germany, more than 800 filmmakers, directors, actors, technicians, and artists, fled persecution and found refuge in Los Angeles. United by their love of cinema and a determination to survive, these exiles became a vibrant creative community, supporting each other through hardship and forging new pathways in American film.

September 10th – The Big Heat

September 17th – Shanghai Express

September 24th – From Here to Eternity

October 1st – Casablanca*
