Events,
Right on Your Site
From festival screenings and Q&As to concerts, workshops, and gallery openings — a complete event management system built into WordPress. Calendar views, RSVP management, and ticket links, styled entirely to match your brand.
Film First. Built for Everyone.
Built for independent filmmakers running screening series, festival circuits, and premiere events — and equally at home for touring musicians, gallery openings, and community workshops.
Upcoming Events
A Complete Event System,
No Developer Required
Add events from the WordPress admin, choose a display layout, and embed the calendar anywhere with a shortcode. Everything else is handled automatically.
Multiple Calendar Layouts
List view, grid view, month calendar, and compact widget — choose the layout that fits your page. Switch layouts from the Style Builder without touching code.
Film Screening Support
Purpose-built fields for screenings: format (35mm, DCP, digital), runtime, Q&A indicator, filmmaker in attendance, and press access. All shown on the event card and detail page.
Works for Any Event Type
Screenings, concerts, gallery openings, workshops, meet-and-greets, tours, readings — categorize events any way you like and display them in separate or combined calendars.
RSVP Management
Collect RSVPs directly from the event page. Set capacity limits, manage waitlists, and export attendee lists to CSV. No third-party form plugin required.
Ticket Link Integration
Add ticket links to Eventbrite, Dice, Brown Paper Tickets, your own Stripe page, or anywhere else. The plugin displays your link with a styled CTA — no platform lock-in.
Countdown Timers
Optionally show a live countdown to any event. Creates urgency for ticket sales and keeps your audience aware of what’s coming up without you having to manually update anything.
Auto-Archive Past Events
Past events move automatically to an archive view. Your upcoming calendar stays clean while the full history of your events remains browsable on a separate page.
Shortcode Embed
Drop [sfi_events] onto any page or widget area to display your calendar. Add parameters to filter by category, limit count, or choose a specific layout.
Style Builder
Customize every visual detail from a live-preview settings panel — colors, fonts, card borders, date display, button styles, and layout. Documented step by step in the included PDF manual.
