Googie Film Screening

About this event

Join Claremont Heritage for a special screening of Googie, a new documentary by award winning filmmaker Jake Gorst exploring the bold, futuristic architecture that defined Southern California's postwar automobile culture.

From soaring roofs and dramatic neon signs to space-age coffee shops and roadside landmarks, Googie celebrates the exuberant design and optimism of midcentury America—and the efforts to preserve this unique architectural legacy.

Following the film, enjoy a lively Q&A with Alan Hess, acclaimed author, architectural historian, and preservation advocate, and Charles Phoenix, celebrated author, entertainer, and cultural historian known for his infectious enthusiasm for Southern California's midcentury history and Americana.
