The Castro Theatre: More than a Movie Palace
There is nothing like viewing a film in a theater, and few can top San Francisco’s iconic Castro Theatre. From its storied history to its immaculate design and architecture, it is no surprise that renowned filmmakers like Paul Thomas Anderson, Martin Scorsese, and Gus Van Sant have chosen to host premieres there. Beyond its role as a venue, though, the Castro is well-known as a treasured landmark and locus for the LGBTQ+ community. Sitting among its over 1,400 seats, one can feel the building’s past and its lasting cultural power, and few experiences can compare. So, next time you head to the multiplex or sit down to watch a movie on your phone, take a minute to appreciate that places like the Castro remain, as cultural institutions, and as cathedrals for the theater-going experience.
