PROXY FALL FILM FEST 2025
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).SEP 26 : Becoming Led Zeppelin by Bernard MacMahon, 2025OCT 03 : Nickel Boys by RaMell Ross, 2024OCT 10 : Every Little Thing by Sally Aitken, 2025OCT 17 : Lesbian Space Princess by Emma Hough Hobbs and Leela Varghese, 2025OCT 25 : Wicked by Jon M.

2025 PROXY Spring Series Film Festival
We are thrilled to announce the 2025 PROXY Spring Series film festival of FREE outdoor cinema at the PROXY Outdoor Theater located at 432 Octavia St!
Our film selection this Spring focuses on stories of everyday heroines: women forced out of their comfort zones, facing life’s difficulties with grace and determination, who through their journeys find completely new selves on the other side. In these dispiriting times, it is inspiring to share such compelling stories of compassion, grit, unconditional love and an uncompromising belief in our ability to create a better world together. We hope you come out, leave reality behind, and watch a film or two under the stars with us in the weeks ahead!
The festival runs every Friday from March 28th through April 25th. These FREE evening films begin 7:45 PM.
