AFI FEST 2010 presented by Audi invites members of the press to apply for accreditation and gala access. There are three types of requests:
- FESTIVAL PRESS PASS (requests due October 1; AFI FEST will notify you by October 15): Allows the holder access to the newsroom and regular screenings (non-galas), panels and official festival venues without a hard ticket, on a space-available basis.
- RED CARPET PRESS ACCREDITATION (requests due October 15; AFI FEST will notify you by November 1): All press that wish to be on the red carpet at galas must be specifically approved to do so, regardless of whether they have a festival press pass. Each gala is accredited separately. Space is extremely limited.

- Red carpet event in which you wish to participate
