    Join us at PROXY to experience enduring hope in the face of injustice in Nickel Boys!

    Based on the Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Colson Whitehead, Nickel Boys chronicles the powerful friendship between two young Black teenagers navigating the harrowing trials of reform school together in 1960s Florida.

    Outdoor adventure brand AETHER Apparel is hosting a FREE RAFFLE GIVEAWAY during Becoming Led Zeppelin! You could win AETHER’s best-selling poncho, branded cotton beanies, and discounts for future purchases! Winners announced AFTER THE FILM! Plus, all movie attendees can enjoy 15% OFF at AETHER's San Francisco store at PROXY — just mention the PROXY FILM FESTIVAL when you shop!

    Come early to grab a good spot! Enjoy a Fort Point Beer, cider, or a new non-alcoholic Villager IPA or KSA Kölsch! We'll also have non-alcoholic tonics from Juice Shop and wine from Hayes Valley neighbor Fig & Thistle and our friend Angel’s movie lovin' sake bar Millay. And make sure to pick up some hot dogs on your way to the show from Hayz Dog, just a block away from PROXY at 364 Hayes! All proceeds from beverage sales support free outdoor cinema at PROXY!

    * We recommend bringing seating, blankets, warm layers, and a few friends for comfortable viewing. You can also check out our tips for enjoying movies outside at PROXY.
