Never been to a film festival before? Don't worry, its a breeze. Before you know it you'll be a seasoned pro.

First, browse through the online Film Guide and decide what films you would like to see.

Second, buy tickets. Advanced tickets go on sale Friday, January 22. You can then purchase online or over the phone. You can buy tickets in person beginning Wednesday February 17 at 1pm. See How to Buy Tickets for more info.

If you decide you want to see more than a couple films, consider buying a festival pass. Festival passes will give you access to multiple events for a single price. See the Festival Passes page for more info.

Third, show up and enjoy the best documentary cinema in the world! In addition, many of the filmmakers will be in attendance to answer your questions following the screening. It is a rare treat!
