During CAAMFest, we are proud to show many great films at fantastic theaters in San Francisco. Some theaters are cemented as cultural centers of the city, and others are popular centers of modern cinema. Today, we would like to share with you some of our films playing at the historic (and newly restored)  Great Star Theater, located at 636 Jackson Street, San Francisco CA. We hope that you will be able to enjoy these films with us on our closing weekend.

During her, she encounters the Pyongyang Circus, which motivates her to follow her childhood dream of becoming an acrobat. This film sports spectacular gymnastic acts from the cast, who are actual gymnasts in real life, and is a historical achievement, being the first fiction feature filmed from inside North Korea in over thirty years. Certainly, it is one that you will not want to miss.
