Super Bowl fun at the Roxie Theater

Since 1998, the SF Independent Film Festival has attracted thousands of movie fans from around the country. This Sunday, the festival gives a nod to the Super Bowl with two football-centric special screenings at the Roxie Theater. The day kicks off with "Fathers of Football" ( the true-life tale of a small-town high-school coach, his star-player son (who's recovering from cancer), and their quest for a state title.

Then, it's on to the annual "Men in Tights" event, featuring local comedians offering humorous commentary on the entire Super Bowl broadcast — including the commercials. The Roxie's concession stand will be fully stocked with beer and snacks, making for a fun alternative to watching the game at home.

When: Feb. 3, "Fathers of Football" at 12:30 p.m. and "Men in Tights" at 3 p.m. 
Where: Roxie Theater, 3117 16th St.
