The Force was strong at the Castro ✨✨

We closed out the 69th SFFILM Festival in the most unexpected, perfect way: a Star Wars Day screening of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK at the newly renovated Castro Theatre. Followed by an onstage conversation with the one and only Anthony Daniels, the man behind C-3PO in every single chapter of the Saga.

Thank you to Anthony and SFFILM Board VP Howard Roffman for a night that was truly out of this galaxy. And to our incredible collaborators @thecastrosf, @lucasfilm, and @apeconcerts,  may the Force (and the film festival) be with you. Always. 🪐

Family dynamics are never simple, but relocating to Vancouver Island can’t hurt? Right?

In Sophy Romvari’s feature debut, BLUE HERON, a young girl and her family chase a fresh start on the idyllic Vancouver Island. However, things may not be as bucolic as they appear when her older brother begins acting strangely.

We were thrilled to get to experience the quiet revelation that is BLUE HERON at the 2026 SFFILM Festival, but if you missed out, don’t fret.

🎞️ You can catch it playing at the Roxie starting May 8!

The Boosters would approve. 🧥👗🧢👟

We asked director Boots Riley and the cast of I LOVE BOOSTERS which costume piece wish they could’ve boosted from the set. Turns out even the filmmakers can’t resist the fits and WE CAN’T BLAME THEM 😤

Hehehe watch until the end for Poppy Liu’s on-set hack 👀
