Name: The 28th San Francisco Independent Film Festival
Start: 2026-02-05T14:30:00-08:00

With another line up of eclectic, (mostly) American independent films, join SF IndieFest on February 6 at the Roxie theatre for a lively look at San Francisco-based The Residents and their mysterious musical persona in the documentary Barking at the Moon. In this off beat movie we follow filmmaker Marie Losiere as she attempts to unravel the mystery of the masked band members past, blending archival footage and modern day interviews to construct a comprehensive vision of the mysterious band's full story. Barking At The Moon is not just a love letter to The Residents but also to the Bay Area’s history of creative expression. SF IndieFest continues through February 15 at the Roxie Theatre, as well as online, with features and documentaries both local and international.

Few American demographics are more easily caricatured than Deadheads, those swirling, dosing, hippy-dressed vagabonds. But in his infinitely sweet and wise documentary, director Mischa Richter offers us the Deadheads as complex, self-aware and resourceful members of a wandering commune, one that's admirable for its kindness and care.Our central subjects, Jerry and Annie, set off in their van to follow Dead and Co.-the most recent successor to the original band-on its final tour. They make just enough money busking (Jerry, of course, is a gifted guitarist) to get by.With editing by Jay Rabinowitz, Summer Tour flows along like a Dead song, riffing and jamming and offering tiny sparks of delight along the way. As it progresses, the film presents a certain irresistible logic to the Deadhead way of life. At a moment when the modern world is spinning into uncertain social, political, environmental and technological terrain, perhaps we should all get on the bus.25.00.Presented by DOCFest

San Francisco Playhouse

San Francisco Playhouse will stage the Bay Area Premiere of Kate Hamill’s imaginative “Dracula: A Feminist Revenge Fantasy, Really.” This fierce new play turns Bram Stoker’s gothic horror classic on its head, driving a stake through the heart of toxic masculinity. With a gender-bending cast, sexy supernatural baddies, and Hamill’s signature piercing postmodern wit, this darkly comic drama skewers power dynamics and slays traditional women’s roles. San Francisco Playhouse Artistic Director Bill English directs a thrilling cast including San Francisco Playhouse Producing Director/ Co-Founder Susi Damilano as vampire slayer Van Helsing who is in pursuit of the titular monster, played by Bay Area theatre veteran Johnny Moreno.

With vocals rooted in an upbringing of heavy jazz, blues and soul influences such as Taj Mahal, Billie Holiday, Bonnie Raitt and Amy Winehouse, Maralisa’s distinct sound and timbre flow seamlessly through genre, creating a world of her own with a focus on the heart and emotion of a song. Revive Music writes, "Maralisa has a confident, developed style that makes her immediately recognizable."
Bay Area raised, Maralisa studied jazz voice at The New School in New York and remained there for nearly a decade, forming her longtime band Space Captain (Tru Thoughts Records) and recording/performing as a guest vocalist in a number of NY based projects. She relocated to Los Angeles in 2020 for a few years before traveling north to San Francisco, which she now calls home.
Maralisa has performed alongside Khruangbin, BADBADNOTGOOD, Ghostface Killah, Nick Hakim, The Hot 8 Brass Band, Kendra Morris and more at notable venues including Rough Trade, Pier 17, the Bryant Park Emerging Music Festival, Teragram Ballroom, Bimbo’s 365 Club and Mr. Tipple’s.

Releases with Space Captain have included double single Easier / Remedy, In Memory EP, All Flowers In Time LP, and double singles Secret Garden / Back of My Mind and Birthday Cards / Chester Springs.
Her jazz group, Maralisa &amp; The Starlight Martinis, featuring seasoned Bay Area musicians Jay Sanders on piano, Eric Markowitz on bass and James Gallagher on drums, play a mix of classic standards, bossa and throwback soul inspired by vocal greats including Nina Simone and Julie London.

Are there hidden accessibility barriers on your website?

Accessibility in Practice

Does your website look great but people still drop off before buying, booking, or signing up? Most small business owners don’t realize accessibility might be the reason. Your site might “pass” an automated scan or look fine visually, but still be impossible to use for people navigating by keyboard, screen reader, or other assistive tech. Automated tools don’t test whether someone can actually fill out a form, complete a purchase, book a service, or make a donation. That’s where accessibility issues tend to hide. In fact, WebAIM’s 2025 Million report found that 94.8% of the top 1,000,000 home pages had detectable Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) failures. That’s where I come in. I run hands-on accessibility reviews that go beyond automated tools. I test your site like a real user would and translate the findings into clear, prioritized fixes you can implement or hand to your developer or designer. Ways to work together: 1. Full Website Accessibility Audit (deep review across your site) 2. Homepage-Only Mini Audit (fast check of your most-visited page) 3. PDF Accessibility Conversion (make PDFs usable with screen readers) 4. Alt Text Writing Packages (product photos, homepage images, posts) 5. Email Signature Accessibility Review (fix a common, overlooked barrier) 6. Social Media Accessibility Quick Review (graphics, captions, links, video basics) and more! What you’ll get (always): 1. Plain-language results 2. A prioritized fix list 3. Practical guidance you can use right away Our approach Transparent pricing • Fast turnaround • WCAG-aligned • ADA/Section 508–informed • Bay Area + remote clients If your site is hard to use, it’s hard to grow. Prioritizing accessibility helps more people access your content, services, and opportunities. contact@accessibilityinpractice.com
