About Castro Theatre

Purchase Castro Theatre Tickets from TicketWeb
 
The Castro Theatre, designated a Registered Landmark in 1977, is considered not only the finest example of a 1920s movie palace in San Francisco (Landmark Report), but one of the best preserved of its type in the nation. In July 1977 the Castro Theatre became the 100th edifice to receive the protection and prestige of landmark status, establishing a welcome milestone for the city as well as the Theatre. 
The Castro was built at a cost of $300,000 in 1922 by the pioneer San Francisco theatre entrepreneurs, the Nasser Brothers, who started on Castro Street with a nickelodeon in 1908. The designer was Timothy L. Pflueger (1894-1946), a celebrated figure in Bay Area architecture whose career originated with the commission for the Castro*.

Break Out of Your Movie Mold
Cool Alternative Movie Houses
By SFS Staff (01/26/2008)

" These articles are a mix of teen-friendly venues and events. They were written to fill in the lack of all ages venues and clubs listings in the media. Because there are not enough places for teens to hang out, they often end up at their friends’ houses or doing things their parent’s would not approve of. With these articles, we hope to expose high school students to places where they can have fun and be safe at night: FILM . Red Vic Movie House . The Castro Theatre . The Roxie New College Film Center "

SF IndieFest 2005
Kicking off the San Francisco Film Festival Season
By Matt Forsman (01/24/2008)

" For those who couldn't make it up to Park City for Sundance, the folks at SF Indiefest offer a more geographically convenient alternative. The 7th Annual San Francisco Independent Film Festival unspools on February 3rd offering numerous unique and eclectic celluloid gems that may never see the light of a multiplex. I had the good fortune to view a number of the films on display this year and while not all of them shined, virtually all of them explored intriguing subject matter in interesting and provocative ways.

The 23rd Annual San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival
A Little Something For Everyone
By Hubert Huang (10/24/2007)

" Although only two months into the new year, 2005 already has the makings of a watershed year for Asian Americans in cinema. NAATA, the organization behind the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival and one of the most important sponsors of media for the Asian community, has reached its silver anniversary. And for the first time, the festival has found a presenting sponsor. That sponsor is 'Asia Street', whose debut on the International Channel, is slated for March 28. Devoted to Asian American programming, 'Asia Street' promises to be a vital medium for the community's growing legion of filmmakers. "
