Sundown Cinema is back, with free screenings in two of San Francisco’s favorite parks!

Sundown Cinema, beloved since 2003, paused this year 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.

Join us Thursday, Sept. 25, for a screening of “La La Land” at Dolores Park, followed by “Edward Scissorhands” on Thursday, Oct. 23, at the Presidio Civil War Parade Ground.

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.

Don’t wait — RSVP now for a chance to win special access to our reserved seating section and cozy up right by the screen!

“La La Land” (PG-13) is a cinematic treasure that you’ll fall in love with again and again. Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling star as Mia and Sebastian, an actress and a jazz musician pursuing their Hollywood dreams — and finding each other — in a vibrant celebration of hope, passion, and love.

“Edward Scissorhands” (PG-13) is a modern-day suburban fairy tale starring Johnny Depp. Edward’s unconventional charm shines through as he styles hair, reimagines gardens, and grooms dogs with shears of metal where his fingers should have been.
