A wonderful staff and simply a great place to spend an afternoon or evening. Easy parking, small and comfortable with a number of good places to eat close by...

Lovely indie theatre showcasing interesting films from around the world. Please support this theatre, it is a rarity left in the Bay Area film world, unfortunately.

One of the best selections of independent films in the Bay Area. Convenient to the best Puerto Rican food too! (Sol Food!)

Griffin Couillard | Aug 26, 2020

Visit rafaelfilm.cafilm.org or come to the box office and ask an employee, they'll have an easier time finding the tickets for you if you let them know the date and time of the show. The box office opens 30 minutes before the start of the first show of the day.
