Stanford Theatre

The Stanford Theatre, a beautiful Greek/Assyrian style movie palace (1175 seats), first opened in 1925. In 1987, the David and Lucille Packard Foundation purchased the theatre (located in downtown Palo Alto, California) to preserve the historic building and provide a proper setting for exhibiting films from Hollywood's Golden Age. The Stanford Theatre Foundation was established for the purpose of operating the theatre and promoting the preservation and public appreciation of classic films. Today, the theater's programming consists of 100% classic films, primarily from the years 1920 through 1965.

For the period of June 7 - September 2, 2008, The Stanford Theatre presents its Summer Film Festival featuring Bette Davis, James Stewart, silent films and more.
