When will the festival details be released?

The festival is still accepting submissions to its 2024 festival, and will continue to accept submissions until our closing date. Details on submitting to the festival can be found here on film freeway.

Once all submissions have been received, reviewed and curated, our team will announce full acceptances and programming for the 2024 festival.

When can I buy tickets?

Tickets can be purchased now from Memorial Hall’s website.

What is General Admission? What is VIP?

There are 3 ticketing options for access.

  • VIP Package is for 3-day festival goers. You get a box seat and some super cool swag.

  • Single Day VIP is for someone who is going to fest for one day with us, but wants to get into after-parties OR have a floor-level seat. You can buy multiple day Single Day VIP if you want.

  • Single Day GA is the most affordable option - you can pick your seat in the balcony and still attend all film screenings, masterclasses and screenplay salons on the day(s) you choose to attend.
