Shapeshifters Cinema & Brewery

Shapeshifters Cinema is an experimental microcinema located in Oakland, CA. We have an intimate 40-seat theater located in a Victorian building on the historic Bret Harte Boardwalk in Oakland’s Jack London District. Our mission is to provide a venue and support for contemporary artists working with experimental and artist-made film, video, sound, music and other types of mediated performance. We host regular, live events, offer workshops on experimental moving image and sound production and operate a storefront shop specializing in print publications, DVDs, sound recordings and other artist-made media. Check out our upcoming events, workshops and online shop at shapeshifterscinema.com.

Shapeshifters Brewery makes a variety of small-batch, seasonal, hand-crafted beers, brewed on-site in a space right behind the cinema. These are served (to 21+) at all our events as well as some off-site events. Find out more at shapeshiftersbrewery.com

Shapeshifters Café is right next door to our cinema! We offer freshly-made salads, sandwiches, coffee, tea, pastries and more. Open M-F, 6am-3pm. Find out more at shapeshifterscafe.com
