Our Theaters Are Coming Back!

The Balboa, Marina, New Mission, Opera Plaza, Presidio, Roxie, and Vogue have reopened full time! We eagerly await announcements from the others. They and their neighbors are counting on our support more than ever now.

 

Who We Are

The San Francisco Neighborhood Theater Foundation (SFNTF) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving historic movie theaters.  We believe that historic theaters contribute to the unique character of neighborhoods and enhance the quality of life of city residents.

The Theater Foundation owns the Vogue and maintains the leases at the Balboa and Opera Plaza Cinemas. The Foundation has invested over $1.5 million in the Vogue, Balboa, and Opera Plaza Cinemas. The Foundation has also played a key role in the preservation of the Presidio, Marina, 4-Star, New Mission, and Harding Theaters.

Events

SFNTF produces the Mostly British Film Festival, an annual celebration of films from the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, India and South Africa.

We also established the Film Night in the Park outdoor movie series in 2003 and produced it until 2018.  In 2019, we merged our efforts with the SF Parks Alliance’s Sundown Cinema, and now assist them in presenting great movies in beautiful settings across the city.
