COVID-19 HEALTH+SAFETY REQUIREMENTS We are so pleased to welcome you back to the movies! At the Festival:

b All attendees must show proof of full vaccination to attend in-person screenings and events. You are considered “fully vaccinated” two weeks after completing the second dose of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine (e.g. Pfizer or Moderna) or two weeks after receiving a single dose of a one-dose vaccine (e.g. Johnson & Johnson/Janssen). b To show proof, you must present a vaccination card, a photo of your card, or a digital vaccine record (e.g. myvaccinerecord.cdph.ca.gov, CLEAR app, etc.) AND a matching photo ID. b We are permitting submission of the printed or digital record of a negative PCR or antigen COVID-19 test as an accommodation for those individuals who are unable to take the vaccine, such as individuals who have medical conditions or are ineligible, like minors. b Masks are recommended. Vaccinated attendees may choose to remove their masks while indoors. Our staff will continue to wear masks. b Thorough cleaning standards for all high-traffic areas will be enforced. Hand sanitizer and disposable masks are also available to guests. b COVID-19 safety protocols are subject to change based on current health conditions and government guidance.
