Yes, most screenings and special events require a ticket, pass, or credential unless otherwise noted. Each season PAIFF offers a few free public screening and test sessions within the community for residents and local guests. Check the screening schedule for the latest details. Filmmakers and their entourage who plan to attend will also need to purchase festival passes (but we have special discounted rates for official selections and industry personnel).

If you plan to attend from outside of the community and you do not have lodging within the gates, then please contact us for a QR code if you need one.

PAIFF may offer daily screening session tickets, festival screenings-only passes, gala-only passes, and VIP options depending on the season’s programming.

VIP access includes all the screenings, priority seating, special VIP-only session events, VIP-only discounted meals, and the red carpet awards gala with dinner reception and open bar, depending on that year’s package details.

Yes, but we price per each screening session (typically 4 hours per session). Select screenings may allow single-event admission, subject to availability and festival policy.

Unless otherwise stated, tickets and passes are non-refundable.

We offer industry discounts for media journalists, filmmakers, industry personnel, and social media influencers. Check the homepage for details on how to apply for an industry pass.

Yes. We offer significant discounts throughout the year including 2-for-1 early bird deals. We also offer free public screenings at select venues throughout the event.
