The George Watts Hill Pavilion for the Arts F Durham is Home to Lights, Camera, Action Durham’s claim to prominence as a location for major films came 20 years ago with Bull Durham, often ranked the “Greatest Sports Movie Of All Time” and starring Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon, and Tim Robbins. But Durham emerged as a backdrop for movies as early as 1950 with the movie Brightleaf, starring Gary Cooper and Lauren Bacall. Other productions filmed here include Brainstorm (1983), Weeds (1987), The Program (1992), and Kiss the Girls (1996). Now the community has starred in 34 major feature films and 75 ads/music videos/TV shows and various other film and video projects, including BET’s “Comic View,”“106 & Park,” MTV’s “Making the Band 2,” and “Homecoming Weekend with Andrew W.K.” For more information on Durham and the movies, log on to www.durham-nc.com/film/.
