Camera 12 has not moved . . . just its box office
To better serve our patrons, Camera 12 is now utilizing the box office in the middle of the Paseo de San Antonio. We feel that first impressions matter. Click here for details.
NEWS FLASH!
More validated parking in downtown San Jose! Camera 12 and Camera 3 patrons can park in the new 343-space Central Space garage, located under the 88 Condo high-rise on E. San Fernando, between S. Second and S. Third, just half a block north of Camera 12. Bring your parking ticket with you to the box office to receive validation when you purchase a movie ticket.
Our Camera 12 Cinema opened in summer 2004 in the heart of San Jose, premiering for downtown residents such diverse films as the Sundance Film Festival audience favorite Napoleon Dynamite, Around the World in 80 Days (starring Jackie Chan), Dodgeball, King Arthur, Tom Hanks in Steven Spielberg's The Terminal and Richard Linklater's acclaimed indie romance, Before Sunset. This state-of-the-art complex at 201 South Second Street features:
- 12 state-of-the-art movie theaters, ranging from 75 to 300 seats, on three levels
- New stadium seating and Dolby Digital sound
- On-Line advance ticketing from this website
- Art/independent/foreign cinema and Hollywood first-run/crossover films
- Jump Cuts public art
- Parking validation for theater patrons in five surrounding garages and parking lots
- On-screen advertising and arts presentation
HEADS UP: Camera 12 is also planning on following Camera 7 into the digital world, adding Sony 4K digital projection in 3 auditoriums, as well Playstation3 on the big screen. This upgrade is planned for late September.
The opening of Camera 12 coincided with the closing of our long-running Camera One and Camera 3 venues (though Camera 3 reopened in Spring of 2008 with two dedicated indie film screens). Camera 12 is a joint project of Camera Pavilion Mgt. Corporation & Camera Cinemas at the Pavilion L.P. (operators), F & H (contractor), The Henry Architects (architects), Garcia Teague & AAI (designers), Forest City Commercial (landlord), Orloff/Williams (advertising/pr), and the San Jose Redevelopment Agency (landowner)
