Description

For over 30 years, the SFFILM Mel Novikoff Award has recognized individuals and institutions that deepened audiences love and appreciation of world cinema. This year, we are thrilled to honor a true Bay Area treasure—The Roxie Theater—The oldest operating independent theater in San Francisco.

Join us for a special reception to celebrate The Roxie’s rich history, lasting impact, and unwavering commitment to film lovers across San Francisco. Toast this beloved institution and be sure to stay for a special 4K screening of Akira Kurosawa’s Rashomon at the Roxie. For those who remember Kurosawa was one of the first artists honored at the inaugural San Francisco International Film Festival in 1957!

This unforgettable evening is made possible through the dedication of the Mel Novikoff Committee—we can’t wait to celebrate with you!
