On Sunday, February 19th, the Dog Film Festival™ will take over San Francisco’s Roxie Theater (3117 16th Street) in celebration of the remarkable bond between people and their dogs. A Bring-Your-Own-Dog Celebration, this is the world’s first Film Festival entirely for, by and about dogs and their people with 50% of ticket sales donated to San Francisco Animal Care and Control.
The festival will showcase two different 75 minute programs of short, canine-themed films submitted by dog-loving filmmakers from around the world. To have the full experience, you’ll want to see both programs! Leave the tissues at home because, if you happen to shed a tear, it will be from laughter and delight.
Tickets can be purchased through the Roxie Theater and are on sale now. General admission tickets are $15 per program and dog tickets are $5 each and include a special gift.
Grab your dog, share an unforgettable experience, and support San Francisco Animal Care and Control this President’s Day Weekend. See you there!
