Matinee is the feeling of walking out of a daytime session into bright afternoon light. Royal blue and lemon on warm cream, an elegant serif with a true italic, coloured bands with scalloped edges, a little paper grain, and a gold sun rising behind your films.
It is a theme for one job: an independent film festival's website. It works with Marquee for Film Festivals, which holds your films, sessions, venues and people. Add your programme once and every page assembles itself.
Requires the Marquee for Film Festivals plugin, version 1.1.1 or later, sold separately.
What your audience gets
A home page that leads with your films: a slideshow of what's screening next, what's on now, your programme streams and your partners
A film page with the still, credits, the programmer's note, press quotes and every session with its venue and a Book button
Films, Schedule, Streams, Venues and People pages that all link to each other
My festival: save sessions, see clashes and share a personal schedule
A phone layout designed for someone standing in a foyer deciding what to see next
What your team gets
A Brand screen in plain language. Add your logo, change the colours and typefaces, switch details on or off, and swap in your own emblem. A live preview shows the result before you save
Pages for the things festivals always need: a Journal for news, an article layout, an About page and a policies page with a contents list
Gentle motion that switches itself off for visitors who ask their device to reduce motion
Fonts stored on your own site, so nothing is fetched from another company when a page loads
No page builder, and no paid plugins beyond Marquee
Good to know
Ticketing stays with your ticketing provider. Book buttons link out to it
Built and tested on WordPress 7.1
One site per purchase. Includes 12 months of updates and email support
You will need
A WordPress site you can install themes on (built and tested on WordPress 7.1)
Marquee for Film Festivals 1.1.1 or later, installed and active
For the Journal: a static home page and a posts page, set under Settings → Reading
