When will I receive my festival itinerary?
You will receive an electronic copy 3 days prior to your arrival, and a hard copy when you check-in at Guest Check-in. This is also where you pick up your credential and complimentary tickets.

How many filmmaker badges do I get?
We provide up to two (2) badges per film upon request. You need a ticket and your credential for theater entry. These provide access to Line 1 at your own screenings, and Line 2 at all other screenings. You will be given additional “Day Badges” to accompany the comps for your first screening, so your guests can also have Line 1 access. Guest Services will be sending an e-mail requesting your badge information.
What privileges does my filmmaker badge allow?
- One day before any festival screening, each filmmaker badge allows for ONE (1) ticket per regularly-priced show from a festival box office (based on availability). A hard ticket is required for entry to all screenings.
- Access to the Filmmaker Lounges in Mill Valley (Zener Schon Gallery, 23 Sunnyside Avenue) and San Rafael (Mark Fishkin Room adjacent to Rafael Film Center, 1118 4th St)
- Two filmmaker brunches on Oct 9 & Oct 16 from 10am to 1pm
- Filmmaker Party on Wednesday, Oct. 12 from 6pm to 9pm
- Additional filmmaker events (details to be included in your itinerary)
How many screening tickets will we receive?
You’ll receive complimentary screening tickets to each of your screenings, with the option to purchase an additional amount.

COMPLIMENTARY TICKETS TO YOUR FILM
FEATURE films are allotted:
10 comps per first screening.
5 comps per subsequent screening.
Option to buy 10 additional.
SHORT films please refer to GRID
If you plan to sit through your film, your seat will be taken from those comps.
IMPORTANT: If you don’t anticipate using ALL of your comps for one (or more) shows, please let your guest services rep know, so we can sell them. This helps us fill all seats at your screenings!
ADDITIONAL TICKETS
Do I get a discount on additional tickets that exceed the comped ticket allotment for my own screenings?
Should you require additional tickets, you’re able to purchase them at the discounted filmmaker rate of $12.50. Please contact your Guest Services rep for this. Discount and availability guaranteed only until September 10th.
Beginning on September 11th tickets will go on sale to CFI members. At this point, the Festival is no longer able to guarantee tickets will be available for you to purchase; it’s unlikely for films to sell out this early, though there is a possibility. We do recommend that you purchase your discount tickets before September 17th, at which point tickets open to the general public and have a high likelihood of selling out.
