Roxie Theatre & Little Roxie

CatVideoFest is the rare movie event where the stars have whiskers, questionable judgment and no interest in traditional acting. This annual compilation collects the funniest, strangest and most unexpectedly charming cat videos from around the internet, turning a familiar online obsession into a communal theater experience. The appeal is not just the clips themselves, but the shared reaction of a room full of people laughing at the same tiny moments of feline chaos. The 2026 edition at the Roxie also supports local cat rescue efforts through a portion of ticket sales, giving the silliness a worthwhile purpose beyond the screen. It is an easygoing outing for animal lovers, internet culture enthusiasts and anyone who needs a break from more serious cinema. Sometimes a theater full of cats is exactly the kind of programming a weekend needs.

SF Queer Film Festival returns with a lineup focused on bold, independent queer storytelling and filmmakers pushing beyond familiar narratives. The festival highlights films that explore identity, community and the many ways people define themselves, with a focus on voices that often sit outside the mainstream. Spread across multiple screenings, the event offers a chance to discover emerging filmmakers in an intimate theater setting where conversations around the work are part of the experience. For regular moviegoers, it’s a welcome alternative to larger festival circuits, with a more personal focus on independent cinema and fresh perspectives. Whether you’re settling in for a feature, exploring a short film program or looking to discover new voices, SF Queer Film Festival is a thoughtful showcase of the stories shaping queer cinema now.
