Yes, you can share your 10-ticket packages with others by transferring the tickets. The entire package does not need to be used by just one person.

Ticket selections are not required for Single Film Tickets (your purchase of a ticket is your selection). For in-person screenings, please be in the appropriate line 15 minutes before the film’s published start time as all screenings (both in-person and online) are limited in capacity and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Online screenings will be available beginning Thursday, January 29, 2026. To watch a film, click the “Watch Now” button on the My Festival Schedule page or from the film details page while the selected title is available. Be sure to start the screening by 11:55 p.m. MT on Sunday, February 1, 2026, and finish watching within the allotted viewing period as follows:

• 12 hours for Indie Episodic
• Five hours for Feature Films
• No time limit on Short Films

Note: Online packageholders cannot watch the same film twice.

There are several ways to transfer purchases. In each instance, the recipient will receive an email confirming the transfer, along with any required next steps such as setting up an account to accept the transfer. Please see Transferring a Purchase for more details.   

Screenings often sell out quickly but we recommend checking our site regularly as tickets may become available. For an in-person screening, you can also join the waitlist at the venue two hours before the screening. For more information, please see How to Join a Waitlist.
