As you are aware, the State Theatre and Bijou by the Bay are currently closed due to the global pandemic. And in these surreal and trying times independent nonprofit theaters not only need your support, but we all need the sense of comfort and unity great art can provide.

That’s why Oscilloscope and the State Theatre and Bijou by the Bay have partnered to bring you one of the best films from the 2019 Traverse City Film Festival, where it one the Nora Ephron Prize, Saint Frances.

Though Saint Frances will not be available for rental or sale for several months, we wanted to make it accessible to you now, in congress with the State and Bijou, for home viewing. For the price of a movie ticket, you will receive a link to the film, which is viewable on any internet-connected device, including laptops, tablets and smartphones. (Instructions on how to view it on your television via AppleTV and Chromecast will also be available).
