The Golden Gate Bridge on the Silver Screen | Civic Center

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Enjoy movie clips and an entertaining discussion of the Golden Gate Bridge in film by local historian Jim Van Buskirk.

The Golden Gate Bridge has starred in more movies than any other American architectural icon. From Dark Passage (1947) to The Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011), the iconic span appears in a wide range of films including Superman, Star Trek, Time After Time, It Came from Beneath the Sea, Love Bug, A View to a Kill, Monsters vs. Aliens, Interview with a Vampire, and X-Men. In honor of its 75^th anniversary, Jim Van Buskirk, author of Celluloid San Francisco, (and former SFPL librarian) offers a clip-filled program of hilariously horrifying depictions of San Francisco’s beloved bridge.
