The Force was strong at the Castro ✨✨

We closed out the 69th SFFILM Festival in the most unexpected, perfect way: a Star Wars Day screening of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK at the newly renovated Castro Theatre. Followed by an onstage conversation with the one and only Anthony Daniels, the man behind C-3PO in every single chapter of the Saga.

Thank you to Anthony and SFFILM Board VP Howard Roffman for a night that was truly out of this galaxy. And to our incredible collaborators @thecastrosf, @lucasfilm, and @apeconcerts,  may the Force (and the film festival) be with you. Always. 🪐

The Boosters would approve. 🧥👗🧢👟

We asked director Boots Riley and the cast of I LOVE BOOSTERS which costume piece wish they could’ve boosted from the set. Turns out even the filmmakers can’t resist the fits and WE CAN’T BLAME THEM 😤

Hehehe watch until the end for Poppy Liu’s on-set hack 👀
