Good to know a place it might show up; we live in North Carolina, but, with a little awareness, persuasion, and planning, I could talk my wife into a trip coinciding with a showing. The Castro in SF would be a more difficult proposition but my wife does want to go back to 'House of Nanking' one day, so even that's a possibility!


Good Luck! Hope you get to see the film eventually! I'd recommend to start searching Fandango for local theaters that show classics or have a 70mm/35mm projector (as they will likely use them for classics) and then keep those places on your radar so you can catch some good classics. There has got to be somewhere in NC that values the classics and has the equipment to show them!

NYC is kind of a exception since there is so much competition: you end up seeing tons of classics played here all the time. If you are ever in NYC, another place that is wonderful is the roxy theater as well as BAM. I saw Terminator 1 & 2, Hackers, Resident Evil 1 all this year in 35mm at these theaters.


I think pjmorris is talking about the Raleigh Alamo which is great! They definitely are responsive to email feedback. They do have a 35mm projector but it seems rarely used, though I think they are trying to use it more recently.

I don’t know of any other places showing film in the area, but I do know the Carolina Theatre in Durham shows loads of classics.
