How to Fest

Santa Fe International Film Festival will take place October 19th-23rd, 2022

Santa Fe International Film Festival screenings will take place at our partnering theaters—The Lensic, Violet Crown Cinema, Jean Cocteau, and CCA, as well as Santa Fe Railyard Park. Select virtual screenings will also be available. SFiFF after-parties will take place at various venues in downtown Santa Fe. Visit Venue Page for addresses. 

Elevent is the ticketing platform for the Santa Fe International Film Festival. When you purchase tickets at boxoffice.santafeindependent.com, you will receive a confirmation email from Elevent with the subject line: “Order Confirmation # – Santa Fe International Film Festival”. You will also receive an activation email which will take you to the viewing platform. More information can be found here.

SFiFF will announce its festival program in Late September 2022, at which time individual tickets will go on sale. Visit boxoffice.santafe.film to purchase individual tickets.

A ticket gives you access to an individual screening, event, or panel that you have purchased, while a Pass includes access to everything happening during the festival, except the Filmmaker Brunch. 

Absolutely! You can purchase tickets to shows online or at the door, and there will also be several free screenings open to the public.

It is recommended for Passholders to arrive up to 15 minutes before showtime to guarantee a seat. SFiFF can’t guarantee seats for Passholders who don’t show up at least 15 minutes before. Ticket holders should arrive 10 minutes before the screening to join the ticket holder line. Late seating is not accommodated. 

If you are a Passholder, all you need is your pass. If you bought a ticket online, you’ll need to bring a physical or digital copy of your ticket. 

Go to the theater 10-20 minutes before showtime, and enter the waitlist.

You can! When you add an item to your cart, it will stay in your cart until you remove it. This way, you can visit both membership and pass pages without losing your progress. Log into your Festival ticketing account (Elevent) (or register for one) and add both items before completing the purchase.

All passes and all reserved tickets must be picked up in person at the SFiFF Box Office on or after October 12th, 2021. You must present your pass at all screenings and events.

No, passes are non-transferable and each pass is for one attendee.

Any disruption (at our discretion) that is an intentional attempt to interrupt, subvert, or threaten any program can result in immediate and permanent revocation of your pass and pass revocation of anyone else in your party. 

Please double check your film selections listed on your order confirmation email.
