For two straight days, July 2nd and July 3rd, The Roxieplays host to a mix of eclectic films from local filmmakers throughout the Bay Area.  This year’s lineup will feature subjects such as dumpster diving, graffiti, vinyl figure collecting, Harvey Milk, global warming, surfing, skateboarding, animation, medical marijuana, breast cancer and the Bay Area prison system.  With a lineup like that, I challenge you to find something that doesn’t interest you about this place you call home, assuming of course that you do call the Bay Area home.

All the information, including movie times and brief descriptions of the films can be found at the San Francisco Film Festival home page.

So pack up some hearty soup and some hot coffee and come chill out at the Frozen Festival.
