Feature your film on SF Showtimes
Each week, one film gets the spotlight at the top of SF Showtimes, the page people in San Francisco open when they're deciding what to see tonight.
What you get
- Your poster, a short line about the film and your link at the top of the SF Showtimes home page for seven days.
- A Showtimes button that takes people straight to every showing of your film in the Bay Area.
- "Presented by" in that week's SF Showtimes Weekly email, with your poster.
- A short report when the run ends, with views and taps.
Who it's for
Distributors opening a film here, festivals selling passes, theaters with a special run or a one-night event, and screening series that want the right crowd. New releases, restorations, 35mm and 70mm runs, premieres and Q&As all fit!
How it stays useful
The spot is always labeled Sponsored and sits in its own space. Listings never change for a sponsor: every theater, time and critics' score stays exactly as it is. No pop-ups, no autoplay and no tracking pixels.
How booking works
- Write to us with the film, the week you want and where it's playing.
- We confirm the dates and rates, usually within a day.
- Send a poster (at least 600 pixels wide), one line about the film and your link. We set it up and send a preview.
Want more than one city? SF Showtimes has sister sites, PDX Movies and Seattle Movies, and one booking can cover all three.
