Pricing

How it works

One Festival Pass package includes admission to every event for one (1) person. To ensure admission, redeem a ticket for each screening you plan to attend.

An Express Pass, included in this package, can be used for drop-ins. Pass holders who arrive to a sold-out screening without a reserved ticket may use their Express Pass to be put on the top of the waitlist. Your Express Pass will be added to your account prior to Opening Night.

Please allow up to 24 hours for your pass to be processed. (Don't worry—once you purchase your pass, tickets have been allocated to your pass and cannot be accessed by anyone else)
