Free Screening: Bernal Heights Cinema Film Crawl

Join us as we roam down Cortland Avenue from one indoor screening location to the next to enjoy free screenings of new short films, brought to you by San Francisco’s annual Bernal Heights Outdoor Cinema festival. We begin our crawl at the Bernal Heights library where a selection of six short films is screening. We will then cross the street to watch ten films at the Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center. Afterwards, we will walk to the Bare Bottle brewery for refreshments and conversation.
