would've been nice if someone (Coppola? Penn? anyone?) had stepped in to do this for the #castrotheatre instead of the travesty that Another Planet is perpetrating https://www.sfgate.com/la/article/whats-going-on-with-fox-village-theatre-westwood-18644666.php

Just got a flyer about this in the mail. Looking forward to it--not just because any #SilentFilm showing is great, and #Vampyr looks particularly interesting--but also it's one more (last?) chance for a showing at the #CastroTheatre (next year's festival is moving to the Palace of Fine Arts).

this used to be one of my favorite places in SF. It's an absolute shame what Another Planet is doing, I'll never set foot in it again: https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/san-francisco-castro-theatre-closure-renovations-18549674.php #sanfrancisco #castrotheatre

Just a reminder that our theater will be dark this Saturday, since the whole silent film community will be converging on the #CastroTheatre for the San Francisco Silent Film Festival. See you there! (Our museum and gift shop will be open during the day, however). #SFSilent https://silentfilm.org/

Going to the the San Francisco Silent Film Festival's #LaurelAndHardy show this Saturday at the #CastroTheatre. I'll be wearing a fez (though I suspect that may not be that distinguishing). #SFSilent

Tonight's #Heklina Memorial street closure and big screen closed circuit TV cast from the
#CastroTheatre
will cost in excess of $50k and SF community donations are needed... help chip in!

so frustrating - just have it taken over by a nonprofit already, clearly APE doesn't respect the community: https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/castro-theatre-landmark-hearing-postponed-17880625.php
