It has always been part of the original MoPA design to incorporate all of the photographic arts. In March of 2000, with the help of a generous donation from Joan and Irwin Jacobs, Director Arthur Ollman’s goal of providing a film program became a reality. Located in the middle of San Diego’s culturally rich Balboa Park resides, alongside our photography exhibition, a cinematic crown jewel. The Joan & Irwin Jacobs Theater is an intimate, comfortable space for one to tap into the history of cinema. Although the museum's regularly scheduled film program is currently on hiatus, MoPA is presently working with other organizations to show film in our theater.
