Roxie New People Cinema is a 143-seat underground cinema in the basement of the New People building at 1746 Post Street in Japantown, produced and managed by New People Inc in partnership with the Roxie Theater. It is a proper, dedicated screening room — not a converted event space — with the intimacy and seriousness of a venue built specifically for film.
The programming is a collaboration between the Japantown-rooted New People organization and the Roxie, one of San Francisco’s most respected independent nonprofit cinemas. That partnership brings a distinctive voice to the schedule: Japanese cinema classics, restorations, new releases, filmmaker appearances, and community screenings that reflect both the neighborhood and the Roxie’s curatorial standards. It is exactly the kind of cinema Japantown deserves, and one of the more interesting places to see a film in San Francisco.
Screenings run through mid-December this season. See the full lineup and buy tickets on the Roxie’s New People Cinema series page. Films start right at the listed showtime.
