Corte Madera Has The Force During Film Festival

If you grew up in the Sixties or early Seventies, you probably remember when Star Wars exploded onto movie screens and became an essential part of pop culture.

The Mill Valley Film Festival is sharing its 35th anniversary this year with a special screening at Corte Madera's Century Cinema of Star Wars, Episode IV, which also debuted 35 years ago. The show starts at 5 p.m. on Oct. 8.

The Century Cinema last year hosted the festival's showing of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark with a costume contest and special guests. During this showing of the Star Wars Special Edition, you might end up sitting next to a Wookie, or a droid, or even Darth Vader.

So, get your tickets any way you can.
