Bay Area Film Events is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving the movie-going experience.

Welcome to the Bay Area Film Events news page. As things develop, you will be able to check out news and announcements for our upcoming shows and even view some articles and reviews of past BAFE events.

Bay Area Film Events was started in 2004 and began with the Dynamation Celebration, a show honoring Ray Harryhausen, hosted by Creature Features' John Stanley and featuring some of the biggest names in the local effects industry. That same year, we had our largest film festival to date, Godzillafest! 20 movies over 7 days! Guests from Japan! Dealers and more! Since then we premiered both the new Ultraman film, ULTRAMAN THE NEXT at our Ultramania show and WILLIAM WINCKLER'S FRANKENSTEIN VS. THE CREATURE FROM BLOOD COVE at our Halloween Terrorama! Both shows featured horror movie hosts, both classic and new as The Ghoul came out from Cleveland to host the Halloween Terrorama and Cinema Insomnia's Mr. Lobo took on giant monsters and superheroes at Ultramania!

In 2006 we have two big shows planned. The first being The Beatles: 40 Years Ago Today, honoring their final concert which took place in 1966 at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. Our Beatles Weekend will take place at the Castro Theatre on August 26-27 and will feature Beatles films, merchandise and vendors, displays, special guests and performances by Beatles tribute band, The Sun Kings!

The second show for this year is a BIG surprise and will be announced soon! Watch this space or go to our official home page at www.bayareafilmevents.com to sign up for our mailing list!

BAFE provides the live support, promotions and extra, added showmanship that will excite audiences and get them out of their living rooms and back in the theaters where movies were meant to be seen!

Through repeat business and new audiences from throughout the Bay Area, we hope to keep the cinematic dreams alive for generations to come!
