Event Details

Classic San Francisco Movies: SF Library’s Free Film Festival | 2014

Enjoy free movies all summer long at your neighborhood library during the 3rd Annual San Francisco Library Film Festival. Every movie being screened is either set in San Francisco or was filmed here.

The 2014 edition of this free film festival features San Francisco classics including the amazing car chase scenes of Bullitt, a screening of Milk at the Milk Library, monsters destroying San Francisco in the 1950s in It Came From Beneath the Sea and more.

Free popcorn? Several of the screenings (though none at the Main Library) will have free popcorn.

To say Vertigo finds Hitchcock at his most obsessive, his most perverse, and his sexual best, doesn’t even begin to convey how haunting this film is, or how bizarre.

Nor does it convey Hitchcock’s passionate style and the way he defies logic working in a much riskier manner than usual.

A retired police detective (James Stewart) must overcome vertigo and his obsession for a friend’s wife (Kim Novak) in this eerie tale of passion. (128 min.)

Enjoy complimentary snacks.
