SFFILM recognizes that public health guidelines are constantly evolving and we may update safety protocols as needed leading up to and during the Festival. Your safety is our top priority and while we are working closely with the San Francisco Department of Public Health, our policies may not always align with SFDPH guidelines.
MASKS
Masks must be worn inside all SFFILM Festival venues when not eating or drinking. When at a screening, masks may only be removed when actively eating or drinking once seated. Masks must be worn in theater lobbies and restrooms.
VACCINATIONS
We require proof of “up-to-date” vaccination and a photo ID at the door. Photo ID is not required for children under the age of 12.
For patrons under 5 SFFILM requires proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within one day (for antigen tests) or two days (for PCR tests) before entry into the venue. Self-attestation may not be used to verify a negative test result, even when using over-the-counter (or at-home tests). All at-home tests require a third-party, such as a telehealth organization, to verify the results via video call.
For patrons 5-11 “up-to-date” means completing both initial dosages of the Pfizer vaccine.
For patrons 12-17 “up-to-date” means you are 2 weeks out from your initial series of Pfizer vaccinations AND if eligible, have received a third dose of Pfizer 5 months after completing the initial series of vaccines.
For patrons 18 and over “up-to-date” means you are 2 weeks out from your initial series of vaccinations (2nd dose of Pfizer/Moderna, 1st dose of Johnson & Johnson) AND if eligible, have received a booster (5 months after completing the initial doses of Pfizer or Moderna or 2 months after receiving the Johnson and Johnson dose.)
