"In my hometown now, in the Napa Valley, we have a theater called The Cameo, which is a beautiful single-venue theater. There's no doubt in my mind that the movie theater experience as a place to thrill to and enjoy great cinema is a central part of the community, and that idea of replacing that with any form of ‘Home Video’  (or) multiplexes - which are basically fast-food restaurants with a sideline of showing movies - is not what I think the exciting future of MOVIE-GOING will be.

BEHIND THE CAMERA

This is an ongoing series featuring in-person conversations with directors, actors, writers, producers and other members of the filmmaking team of a first-run movie screening at the Cameo. This series affords our film community the unique opportunity to see behind-the-camera live as we explore the creative process of bringing script to screen.   DECEMBER - The Holdovers

CINEMABITES


The St. Helena Farmers’ Market features films that celebrate the farmers, vendors, chefs and vintners who are responsible for the food sitting on our plates and the wine in our glass.  They pair these films with culinary treats created by a range of chefs from Micheline starred restaurants to local farm-to-table eateries and food trucks. Funds support their educational programs.

JAZZ SUNDAYS

We believe music has the power to unite us, and our Jazz concerts showcase distinguished musicians from the Bay Area. Our artists create a soulful concert experience for everyone fortunate enough to be there.
