Answer me this: "How do BLOCKS and BLOCK PASSES work?"

QUESTION: Can you please explain how the PASSES and the screening schedule work? For instance, I see “BLOCK X” and there are several films listed. Are there specific start times for each film? Is one able to see just see one movie?

ANSWER: The screening BLOCK is the collection of films(s) we screen in one single session. You can buy a FULL FESTIVAL PASS or you can buy a BLOCK PASS online, and that will get you into a screening.

For example, if you have a PASS for BLOCK X, you show up 10 minutes early to claim your seat, and when the BLOCK starts you get to watch all the film(s), which can be a collection of shorts from various genres, or a feature length movie.

When the BLOCK is done, we let filmmakers come on stage and do a Question&Answer session with the audience.
