The 10th Annual Festival can be enjoyed as an all-inclusive or a la carte experience.
There are options for every cinephile budget but we recommend the EMERALD Badge for those who love to immerse themselves in all the festival has to offer!
From donuts and coffee in the morning, to happy hours and after parties and enjoy films, panels and workshops throughout the day.
Advance reservations are the biggest perk as red carpet films have sold out every year!
Pre-festival badge pick up hours: November 4-5
Regular Festival Box Office Hours: November 6-9
Box Office Only during festival week November 4-9
John D. Spreckels Center
