Overview

Step back in time and explore Savannah's little-known but major role in American film history on this immersive walking tour. Discover how Savannah witnessed the transformation of movie production — from the silent film era of the 1920s to modern digital filmmaking techniques. Beginning at Leopold's Ice Cream (founded in 1919 during cinema's early years), trace the technical and artistic developments in film production as you visit the Lucas Theatre, where silent films once played with live orchestral accompaniment. Explore how Savannah's historic theaters adapted through technological revolutions — from the introduction of "talkies" to Technicolor, widescreen formats, and beyond. Learn about the changing production methods used in notable films shot here, including the practical effects employed in "Forrest Gump" and the period-accurate production design of "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil."

Whether you want it or not, you’ll leave a film buff!
