Plan the visit
Choose films, conference, or both
Start with the badge or pass that matches your priorities because conference panels and film screenings overlap across the festival week.
Plan around multiple venues
Screenings and panels use several downtown and nearby venues, so allow walking or travel time between sessions instead of stacking the schedule too tightly.
Recheck the daily program
The official program evolves as screenings, panels and guests are finalized; use the current festival schedule before each day.
