PLEASE READ THIS FROM AUSTIN FILM FESTIVAL

*** Every year, we encounter many unfortunate situations surrounding filmmakers not being familiar with our Tickets and Line Policy. This causes unnecessary confusion, misunderstandings, and sometimes pouting during the Festival…and no one likes pouting. 

So here’s an easy but IMPORTANT guide to how Badges, Passes and Tickets work at the Festival, and I encourage you to read through this carefully and, if possible, even memorize it:

  • COMPLIMENTARY FILMMAKER BADGE (Producer’s Badge)– This badge let’s you stand in the BADGE LINEto all screenings and events during the Festival. Please arrive prior to 20 minutes before the scheduled screening time. After 20 minutes, no matter what Badge, Pass, or Ticket you hold, you will be directed to the back of the GENERAL ADMISSION LINE. This applies to EVERYONE!
  • COMPLIMENTARY FILMMAKER TICKETS– Each film receives five (5) of these tickets for each of your screening. This Ticket let’s you stand in the BADGE LINEto your film’s screening only! Please arrive prior to 20 minutes before the scheduled screening time. After 20 minutes, no matter what Badge, Pass, or Ticket you hold, you will be directed to the back of the GENERAL ADMISSION LINE. This applies to EVERYONE!
  • FILM PASS– This Pass let’s you stand in the FILM PASS LINEto all film screenings during to the Festival. Please arrive prior to 20 minutes before the scheduled screening time. After 20 minutes, no matter what Badge, Pass, or Ticket you hold, you will be directed to the back of the GENERAL ADMISSION LINE. This applies to EVERYONE!
  • ADVANCE TICKETS – Advance Tickets can be purchased by contacting our Film Marketing Coordinator at filmmarketing@austinfilmfestival.comor (512)478-4795. Advance Ticket Holders can stand in the FILM PASS LINE to your specific screeningPlease arrive prior to 20 minutes before the scheduled screening time. After 20 minutes, no matter what Badge, Pass, or Ticket you hold, you will be directed to the back of the GENERAL ADMISSION LINE. This applies to EVERYONE!

I’m sure you’ll notice the reoccurring theme here is: “prior to 20 minutes before the scheduled screening time.” That’s the magic number during the entirety of the Festival and this rule applies to everyone. None of the Badges, Passes or Tickets guarantees you a seat. It does, however, offer you priority entrance into the theater. We urge you to pass on this information to anyone who will be attending your screening, whether it is your cast and crew or family and friends.
