CIFF50 Tickets and Passes

Tickets for the general public go on sale March 18, 2026, with early access for Visionaries (March 5) and Members (March 11).

All-Access passholders must also select the film screenings they wish to attend in advance. Though there will be no additional charge, the screening reservation is what guarantees your seat.

How to Reserve Your Ticket

From the film schedule, choose a screening, sign in, and select your screening date of choice before you check out. Even with a pass or membership, everyone must reserve a ticket for each screening.
