Camera 3

Camera 3 Entertainment combines innovative specialized cinema, live comedy, a contemporary urban cafe, and event venue. We have partnered with two great companies with outstanding reputations – ComedySportz and Café Too – to reinvent the space into a truly unique entertainment destination unlike any other in the South Bay, mixing spunk, humor, resourcefulness, and great relationships in a hiply renovated downtown setting.

Camera 3 Cinema, known as the premiere South Bay venue for independent and foreign film for more than 20 years, temporarily closed in 2004 with the opening of our Camera 12 Cinema down the street. Continuing the tradition of providing unique and independent programming, Camera 3 re-opened this past Feb. 8th with new Dolby Stereo SR sound systems in screens one and three, and pillow back chairs with upholstered arms and cup holders in screens two and three. As at our other locations, Camera 3 offers free vaildated parking with paid movie admission.

After more than 30 years of presenting a wide variety of independent film -- including foreign, underground and re-released classics -- and more recently the latest Hollywood releases, the Camera Cinemas have become an important institution in the local film community. Our theaters have made vital contributions to the cultural life of San Jose, Campbell and Los Gatos, and, most importantly, have become a symbol of the very loyal and committed support of their audiences, people like you.

Through all the changes, the Camera Cinemas have continued to thrive, routinely being voted the area's best theaters by readers of San Jose Metro and The Wave, and most recently, being selected Best Movie Theaters in the San Jose Mercury News "Best of Silicon Valley 2007".
