Our staff has been hard at work since March 2020 adapting to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We’ve had a strong mission-journey with 5 cultural tours, @homeArts creation, and SLFS@home, all the while working to make the theatre safe for the SLFS community. We ask that our patrons and staff adhere to the following guidelines and be aware of the steps we are taking to ensure everyone’s health and safety.
SLFS will adhere to the guidelines and standards set by World Health Organization (WHO), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), local and state health authorities, and the voluntary #CinemaSafe (Cinemasafe.org) guidelines developed by the National Association of Theatre Owners.

Refund Policy
Requests for refunds will not be honored after a film is on screen for 10 minutes.
Late Entry Policy
SLFS takes pride in preserving the cinematic experience. Please do not arrive late to a film. Arriving late disrupts the film experience for fellow patrons.
Films start on time at SLFS, and begin with a short SLFS pre-show, which includes movie trailers and SLFS program information.
If a special guest is in attendance, the event will start on time. For these specialty screenings, SLFS will not allow late admission.
Content Advisories/Trigger Warnings
SLFS does not provide advisories about subject matter or potential triggering content.
The films and film-artists that SLFS programs for the community have their own unique perspectives, voices, and ideas. SLFS does not censor the expression of ideas, rather, we present works of film artists to our audiences as-is.
We trust SLFS audience’s to self-select their choice of film and ask that they do their own research on films before attending if there is a concern about the film content. SLFS does not guarantee that any given film will not contain challenging or triggering content to any specific individual.
Beyond the synopses and trailers featured on our website, other sources of information about content and age-appropriateness for specific films can be found on Common Sense Media , IMDb and DoesTheDogDie.com as well as thorough general internet searches.
SLFS programs are based on 4 core values:
SLFS Code of Conduct
SLFS strives to provide a welcoming space for every individual in our community. We uphold a mutual respect for the expression of a multiplicity of ideas and perspectives. We ask that our patrons in turn hold themselves to a high standard of conduct including demonstrating kindness, respect for each other and striving to engage in non-disruptive debate and discussion before or after the film is being shown .
While disagreement, differing viewpoints, and robust debate are part of what makes the film-going experience at SLFS so valuable, behavior considered inappropriate, in any way violent, abusive, or threatening will not be tolerated and appropriate action will be taken if needed.
SLFS is a strong ally with many minority communities. We hold our staff and board accountable for continually evolving in the work of anti-racism. We strive to make our venues a welcoming and safe harbor for communities in pain due to systemic racism, bigotry, hatred, or discrimination.
Our core values at SLFS are:
Patron Code of Conduct
SLFS expects that those who share our spaces will demonstrate:
If you experience or witness any inappropriate conduct while in our physical venues, please report the incident to a manager on duty. If you see inappropriate conduct online, please email us at info@saltlakefilmsociety.org
