Films At Your Fingertips!

Individual Film Tickets

On Sale Starting Fri. Feb. 19th
Tickets are $10

For the 2021 Film Festival all regular films will be offered in an online streaming format.

So, review the selection of films offered this season. On Friday February 19th our 10-day film festival begins and tickets will be available for the entire ten days.

When you purchase your ticket the streaming BIFF video will then become available for viewing. (Why we can’t do presales)
Once purchased you will have five (5) days to begin your viewing session.
If you stop your session you have 48 hrs. to resume viewing the film.
All regular Narrative Features, Documentary Features, Short Films and Music Videos are available for streaming.
There are no in-person, on-site screenings this year
Most of our regular special events this year are presented in socially distant drive-in and drive-through formats.

Lots of changes this year. Please bear with us. There are a LOT of wonderful films available for you this year as always.

Full Festival Passes

On Sale Now Through Fri. Feb. 19th. 2021
BIFF Film Society Members — $100
Non-Members — $120

Something new for this season!

For years people have asked for a pass that would allow them to see as many films as they’d like.

Problem is, because BIFF has multiple venues with different and limited capacity, the logistics of ensuring such pass holders would actually be able to get into a sold out screening prevented this option.

Venue capacity is not a problem with a streaming film festival!

How To Purchase Film Tickets

(not always the same as event tickets)

Option A. (online – safe)

Purchase from festival schedule:

Festival Schedule 2020
Purchase from the individual film page, event or “short slot” page or grouping.
The BIFF “Uberlist”:

All 2020 Tics by Alpha

BIFFicate Holders:
BIFFicates must be redeemed for screening tickets to guarantee you a seat.
You will find a 6-digit number on your BIFFicate. Enter that code when prompted.

Option B. (box office – safe)
Stroll down to the Advance Box Office or regular Festival Box Office and our volunteers will be happy to help.
Location and times below.

Option C. (at the venue – can be risky)
Screenings DO sell out.
If you want to be sure you can get in buy your tickets in advance. IF… there are tickets still available you can purchase them at the door on a first come, first served basis AFTER ticket holders are seated. Consider this fair warning. :-)

BIFFicate Holders:
A BIFFicate is NOT a ticket. To guarantee a seat, redeem this for an actual ticket online, or at the box office. IF… you want to take your chances and IF seating is still available, AFTER ticket holders are seated you might get in depending on availability and your place in line.

“You’ve got to ask yourself one question ‘Do I feel lucky?’
Well, do ya… punk?”
