ABOUT SUNDOWN CINEMA:
The San Francisco Standard is pleased to announce the return of Sundown Cinema, a free outdoor movie series spread across iconic San Francisco parks. Sundown Cinema, beloved since 2003, paused in early 2025 after its sponsor closed due to financial issues. The Standard decided we just couldn’t let this tradition disappear — especially when the city is so very back, baby. So we’re relaunching Sundown Cinema. Featuring a curated lineup of films, food trucks, and more, Sundown Cinema is the ultimate movie night under the stars. Admission is free and open to all.

The San Francisco Standard is the Bay Area’s fastest growing source for news and information. Whether it’s an investigation into political corruption or a guide to the best wine bars in town, we provide San Francisco—one of the most dynamic cities in the world—with the journalism it deserves.
