Sure New York and Los Angeles get a lot of screen time, but San Francisco has been the setting of more films than perhaps any other city in the world, and if you throw in the Bay Area beyond there's no outnumbering the body of film work that draws on San Francisco's energy and charm. The Balboa Theatre is delighted to offer a month-long festival of The Reel San Francisco, with filmmakers and authors introducing many shows.
For this series we dug deep and found titles for hundreds of movies set in San Francisco from the turn-of-the-century through this year. It was difficult to narrow down our selections to fit 4 weeks. To our astonishment there are no useable prints of many movies including AFTER THE THIN MAN, CHAN IS MISSING, D.O.A. or WHAT'S UP DOC? Despite these obstacles, we are thrilled with the resulting series and know San Franciscans are going to have a great time at the Balboa seeing dramas, comedies, film noir, documentaries, music films and much more.
Studios and filmmakers are providing us with the best possible prints available, often from the studio archives. Our projection team of Eric and Jim will be in the booth making certain you get the best presentation and the prints have loving care.
