The Sequoia Theater is built and opened on February 21, 1929 as a single screen 1200 seat cinema by Blumenfeld Theaters of San Francisco. In these early days, in addition to silent films and ‘talkies’, it featured vaudeville style acts, hosted the Marin Light Opera Company and beauty contests, live musical entertainment was played between shows on a Wurlitzer organ. More history here.

The Sequoia is now owned and operated by CAFILM (California Film Institute), the non-profit arts organization that also owns and operates the Smith Rafael Film Center in San Rafael, produces the annual Mill Valley Film Festival, Doclands Documentary Film Festival and ongoing CAFILM Education programs. It offers a lively and diverse schedule of first-run engagements, including independent, foreign-language and documentary films and frequently welcomes special guests for entertaining and insightful conversations relevant to the programs.
