`Bible Storyland’ coming to Crown Heights Film Fest
Bible Storyland,” a film about an ill-fated 1960s theme park whose exhibits were based on biblical scenes, will have its New York city premiere on Saturday, Nov. 3 at the Crown Heights Film Festival.
The subject of the film, Harvey Jordan, is a California art dealer who went on a decade-long quest to find out more about the never-built park after he bought approximately 250 architects’ drawings of what he later found out were intended to be park exhibits. He will be at the festival and will take part in a Q&A.
Biblical Storyland, which was intended to be built in Cucamonga, Calif. (the same place where Frank Zappa made his early recordings), was the brainchild of former Disneyland vice president Nat Winecoff, Jack Haley (the tin man from “The Wizard of Oz” and Donald Duncan of Duncan Yo-Yos.
