FAR FROM HEAVEN Screens as Part of Santa Barbara Center's Bernstein Film Series

The Santa Barbara Center for the Performing Arts (SBCPA) is pleased to announce Far From Heaven as the next installment of the Elmer Bernstein Memorial Film Series on Monday, March 13, 2017 at 7:00pm. Prior to the film screening, guests can look forward to a special pre-show discussion hosted by the series guest curator Jon Burlingame, one of the nation's leading writers on music for film and television and expert on the music of Elmer Bernstein.

Starring Julianne Moore, Dennis Quaid and Dennis Haysbert, Far From Heaven tells a story which crosses both sexual and racial lines, revolving around a privileged suburban family whose lives are filled with daily family etiquette, social events at the club, and an overall desire to keep up with the Joneses. THE FAMILY is turned upside down when both husband and wife are faced with choices that not only create a gossip mill for the entire community but also change their entire lives forever.

Established by the SBCPA to honor the life and work of noted film composer and Santa Barbara resident, Elmer Bernstein, the Elmer Bernstein Memorial Film Series presents an annual selection of films noteworthy for the importance of their musical scores to the telling of each film's unique story.

Tickets range in price from $10 - $20, and are available through The Granada Theatre's Box Office - please click here to purchase or call the Box Office at (805) 899-2222. Dates and film titles are subject to change.
