BendFilm tickets, passes go on sale
BendFilm announced tickets and passes will go on sale Thursday at 10 a.m. for members and on Monday, September 10 for the general public.
The best way to buy tickets is on the BendFilm home page at www.bendfilm.org. There members will find a grid and film synopses that will link directly to ticket sales.
Orit Schwartz, festival director, said, “We’re selling tickets earlier than ever this year and anticipate a great response from members and the general public. Buzz has been building about our films and parties, including the resurgence of a dance party, which will be held at our newest venue, the Cascade Theatrical Company, on Friday night of the festival featuring DJ Bryan Swett.”
BendFilm will once again use Agile Ticketing, which streamlined the ticket buying process in 2011. Each film is listed with a trailer and large photo outtake along with details such as cast and crew, screenwriter, director, film length and category.
Individual ticket prices are $11 if purchased online, and $12 if purchased at The Hub (The Liberty Theater) or at the door. Full festival passes, including parties and films, are $200. Full film passes are $125. Both are available for purchase online and at The Hub.
Those who want the inside scoop on the festival’s films should attend How to BendFilm, 5:30 pm Wednesday, October 3 at Mirror Pond Plaza. The festival guide will be in general distribution as of October 4. For previews of movies, follow BendFilm on Facebook.
