San Francisco International Film Festival is well under way, but you can still grab some tickets before the fest closes on May 7. Plus, ticket prices aren’t all that expensive considering that, well, ticket prices at your local AMC are already close to $10. Below, we’ve listed some films and events of note, so you might as well enjoy a good flick before finals set in.

Note that some films will sell fast/sell out. Some of these events are already on rush status, which means you’ll have to show up at the doors to try to squeeze in. Berkeley’s Pacific Film Archive is also running some of the SFIFF films, so head over to the site to find out which ones you can watch closer to home.
