Please help save this theater. The Metro is one of the best and last remaining neighborhood movie theaters in San Francisco. It is an important attraction for the Union Street neighborhood commercial district and draws visitors from throughout San Francisco and the Bay Area. It is also a significant historic resource designed by prominent architects the Reid Brothers, a beautiful and unique community asset that can never be replaced. The Metro is also the original home of the San Francisco International Film Festival, which was first organized in 1957. Also, and equally important, the 1941 murals in the Metro’s interior are the work of Anthony Heinsbergen, considered the foremost designer of North American movie theater interiors and are in mint condition due to a 1998 renovation.
