Foreign Film Nights San Francisco

AMC A-List Meetup

Are you an AMC A-List member? Come meet other A-List members and find people with similar movie tastes to add to your Entourage list to book movies with together. The event will be casual - we'll get a table downstairs to chat and meet up and you can book an afternoon movie and head up whenever it's time. I'll probably plan on the 3pm Street Fighter screening. Note: AMC A-List is a paid subscription to see up to 4 movies a week at AMC Theaters. You are welcome to join if you are not a subscriber, but you will likely not get as much out of this meetup as current subscribers.

On Thanksgiving Day 1976, The Band took the stage with an extraordinary lineup — including Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Muddy Waters, Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Emmylou Harris, Dr. John, Paul Butterfield, Mavis Staples, Stephen Stills, and more — for what became one of rock's most celebrated farewell concerts. Blending live performances with candid conversation, Scorsese turns the night into a cinematic reflection on The Band's legacy and rock and roll's evolution. Released in 1978, the same year Winterland closed, The Last Waltz preserves the memory of one of San Francisco's great cultural landmarks while standing as one of the most influential music documentaries ever made. ▪︎ **Watch Here: (Mavis Staples whispers Beautiful! at the end. 😊)** https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2eTW8qZBtk 🔸️ Kanbar Hall, located inside the JCCSF at 3200 California St., reopens after a $2.5 million renovation featuring Dolby Atmos surround sound, 4K projection, and enhanced acoustics for an immersive film experience.
