Rush tickets may be available just before showtime, and sometimes as part of the daily Noon Ticket Release. At theaters, a rush line will form outside the venue 30–60 minutes before the screening starts. Once all ticket and pass holders are seated, any empty seats will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis to those in the rush line. We offer one ticket per person waiting in line at the time of admission.

Rush tickets are not available at Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA). Please be advised that not all shows at rush will have tickets released.

No. If you do not have an account with SFFILM, you will be asked to create one during the checkout process.

To provide our patrons with the safest experience possible, SFFILM has taken measures to increase the turnover time between screenings, increase airflow at all venues, and enhance cleaning regimens.

For patrons under the age of 5: A negative ANTIGEN test taken 1 day prior to entry or a negative PCR test taken within 2 days prior to entry may be used to attend an SFFILM Festival event.
