Crossing the Great Sagrada (1924) is a low-budget independent short made by Adrian Brunel. The film is a humorous spoof of a travelogue film; its title is a play on Crossing the Great Sahara (1924), a travel film made by Angus Buchanan. Travel films were popular in the 1920s, documenting foreign cultures in a way that tended to reflect imperial, nationalist and often racist stereotypes. Brunel sends up many of the conventions of the genre familiar to audiences.
