PHILADELPHIA FILM SOCIETY’S HEALTH & SAFETY REGULATIONS

As of July 29, 2022, proof of vaccination is no longer required & masking is optional at PFS venues, but both are strongly recommended.

Full list of all health & safety regulations are below.

HEALTH & SAFETY REGULATIONS

Ticket Sales & Socially Distanced Seating
– We strongly advise purchasing your tickets online. Though venue Box Offices will be open during standard operating hours if needed.

In the Venue
– Please remain six feet away from anyone not from your household.

– Please clear the lobby before or after screenings.

Concessions
– Food or beverage purchased outside of PFS venues are not permitted inside.

– Please take concessions trash when leaving the theater.

Restrooms
– Restrooms will be cleaned and sanitized by staff during and after each screening.

Sanitation
– The lobby, box office, concessions area, and restrooms will be cleaned after each screening has started.

– Hand-sanitizing stations are available throughout the venues building.

– PFS venues filtration systems have also been upgraded beyond the industry standard of MERV 8 to MERV 13 filters. MERV 13 filters capture the tiniest of droplets, which could contain the COVID-19 virus, whereas the industry standard MERV 8 filter does not. In addition, fresh outdoor air is constantly circulated in our theaters by opening HVAC dampers, running supply fans and by running exhaust fans 24/7.

– PFS venues routinely vacuum carpeted areas using vacuums with HEPA filters, which are proven to trap 99.97% airborne particles.

Staff
– Staff will self-monitor for symptoms of COVID-19 and will not come to work if experiencing any symptoms.

– Staff are required to wear masks at all times.
