How Tickets & Passes Work
There is a sort of bohemian, easy-going vibe we talk about in reference to the festival? Well, we’re like that with the tickets and passes as well.
If seating is available anyone can attend a screening for free in Strasbourg. With that in mind, some people might want a little more of a safety net to ensure they get a seat. Those people should buy tickets!
There is also a hierarchal structure to seating. Press and filmmakers have priority seating over the free ticket going audience. Our filmmakers are flying in from all over the world. We want them to know what other filmmakers are doing, so we want them to have easy access to each other’s films. It’s a great way for new and emerging filmmakers to learn about what is happening right now in the film world. Paid tickets and passes have priority over filmmakers (if it’s not their film).
Early day screenings – 2:00pm, 4:00pm & 6:00pm – are less likely to fill up than 8:00pm & 10:00pm screenings. We haven’t screened at midnight yet, so those times could go either way.
Ff you want to try to make sure you get entry into screenings for free try earlier in the day or maybe the late night screenings.
All of our films are worth seeing otherwise they wouldn’t be in the festival in the first place. Our shorts and docs are fantastic. We had a lot to choose from so we were able to be very picky and not able to bring in all that we wanted. As a general rule, shorts and docs screenings are generally not as full as feature film screenings. But quite honestly, the French really like shorts so we tend to get a very nice number in attendance for those screenings.
Even some evening screenings aren’t going to be totally full, so risk it! …or you can buy a ticket if you want to feel the comfort of knowing you will definitely be able to see what you want to see. Our tickets range from cheap to very affordable. A pass for the entire fest – which would guarantee you could see anything whenever you wanted – is only $200 for 10 full days and nights of fantastic films!

All Day Movie Pass $12.00
Week Long Movie Pass $50.00

Tickets help ensure your priority seating but it’s always a good idea to arrive 15 minutes early!
An individual ticket can be used at any screening. So you might want to keep a couple on hand just in case you realize the film you want to see might fill up.
Hope that helps!
Best,
SiFF
