25th SF INDIEFEST Opening Night Film: CIRCUS OF THE SCARS Start Date: Thursday 2/2/2023 — End Date: Thursday 2/2/2023 Admission:20 The San Francisco Independent Film Festival celebrates its 25th anniversary. The festival takes place February 2-12, both in-person at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco and virtually online at sfindie.com. OPENING NIGHT FILM A scrappy sensational sideshow revival act playing Seattle dive bars is suddenly propelled into the big time, riding the same wave that brought grunge rock crashing into mainstream culture. Circus of the Scars follows the Jim Rose Circus Sideshow on a relentless and controversial world tour as they rise from obscurity to international infamy. Sold out audiences gape in horror and howl with laughter, but behind-the-scenes, inner struggles and battles with their maniacal ring leader push the troupe ever closer to an early implosion. On February 2, please join filmmaker Chicory Wees and fellow festival attendees after the screening for an after party at 518 Valencia Gallery, with special guest appearance/performances by Jim Rose Circus Sideshow Marvels Zamora the Torture King, The Enigma and Matt the Tube Crowley!
