Passes are now on sale for AFI FEST 2024! The 38th edition of AFI FEST will take place October 23–27 at the TCL Chinese Theatres in the heart of Hollywood and will feature a curated selection of Red Carpet Premieres, Special Screenings, World Cinema, Documentaries and Short Films showcasing master filmmakers and new cinematic voices from around the world.
