After a 20-month hiatus, the video arts screening room at SFO Museum at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is open.
The gallery screens short-form documentaries, experimental films, and all forms of animation. It is located pre-security on the departures level of the International Terminal. Hours: daily, 5:00am to 10:00pm.
With a nod to COVID-19, this month, the gallery is showing the work of four filmmakers from around the world whose work reflects how the pandemic impacts our lives and our interactions.
You can see the films next time you go to SFO. Or you can see them here.
