We are thrilled to announce the 2025 PROXY Fall Film Festival of FREE outdoor cinema at the PROXY Outdoor Theater!
It is hard to believe that with this Fall’s Festival, we are entering our 10th year of screening free films at PROXY! In that first year in 2015, our festival was a scrappy experiment in activating public space: projecting films from the back of a box-truck onto the outdoor movie screen we had crowdfunded for just a few months prior. Under the tagline of LET’S WATCH MOVIES OUTSIDE TOGETHER, we began our now decade-long effort to encourage togetherness through shared experiences.
This Fall’s Festival, we intentionally chose a wide range of films — the crowd-pleasing rock documentary BECOMING LED ZEPPELIN that reveals the hard work, creative drive and mastery of craft it takes to become rock legends (and which also features scenes from late-60’s San Francisco!); NICKEL BOYS, a richly beautiful film narrating the lives of two black teenagers who land in a reform school in the segregated South; EVERY LITTLE THING, a documentary about an incredible LA woman who has dedicated her life to hummingbird rescue; LESBIAN SPACE PRINCESS, an adults-oriented animated love-adventure thriller; and, finally, our family-friendly Halloween pick, WICKED. We hope that you, your friends, partners and loved ones can make it out this Fall for a film or two (or even five)! See you there!
The festival runs on Fridays and one Saturday, from September 26th through October 25th. These FREE evening films begin 7:30 PM (with Wicked beginning 6:45 PM on Oct 25th).
