FESTIVAL PASSES
AFI FEST 2012 presented by Audi will offer FREE tickets again this year. In addition to complimentary tickets, a limited number of Patron Passes, Cinepasses and Special Screenings Passes are available for purchase. Passes can give you admission to screenings without needing a ticket – no pre-selection of films is necessary (Galas exempted).
AFI is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational and cultural organization, and gifts to AFI and AFI FEST support the education and outreach programs of the American Film Institute. Contributions are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. In compliance with IRS regulations, AFI provides contributors with a good faith estimate of benefits provided.
