About SF Showtimes

SF Showtimes puts every movie showing in San Francisco, the East Bay and Marin, from Novato to Daly City , all on one page. Independent houses and multiplexes, side by side. Free, no account, nothing to install.

Why it exists

Figuring out what's playing tonight used to mean opening a pile of theater websites, each laid out differently. This is the one page we wanted instead: every theater and every showing, sorted the way you actually decide, by theater, by film or by what's starting soon.

San Francisco's screens

The Bay Area has some of the best repertory screens anywhere. The Roxie, New People, the 4 Star and BAMPFA are read straight from their own calendars, and the Balboa, the Vogue, the Rafael, the Lark and the New Parkway are all here too. Real 35mm and 70mm prints get their own On film filter, so they're easy to find!

How it works

Listings refresh through the day. Independent theaters are read from their own schedules, and the chains come from Fandango's public listings. We don't sell tickets: tap any time and you go straight to the theater's own page to buy. Times change and shows sell out, so that page always has the final word.

Who makes it

SF Showtimes is made by Ben VanderVeen, a designer in Portland, Oregon. It's an independent project, not owned by a theater, a chain or a ticket seller. Ads help cover the costs, and if you'd like to chip in, you can support it on Ko-fi.

Three cities

SF Showtimes is one of three sister sites, each built the same careful way.
