Festival FAQs

We’ve compiled a list of the most frequently asked questions regarding everything KCFF. Simply click on a question below to reveal the answer. 

KCFF has something for everyone! Be aware, though, that many of our films are not yet rated. Have a look at the content advisories on each film page to assess what is appropriate for different audiences. And don’t forget – the festival experience is much more than just watching a movie – most screenings are followed by a Q+A with cast and/or crew!

A ticket is great for the casual movie lover who wants to see a few movies during the Fest. If you’re planning on seeing more, you might wish to consider purchasing a Festival Pass. Festival Passes allow patrons to select tickets to 6, 9, or 12 movies and save on standard in-person ticket prices. As an added bonus, with a Festival Pass you’ll also get free access to our Mix and Mingle Reception on Saturday, March 2 at Mayla (2-4pm) with complimentary beverages + apps!

All 3 of our screening venues are accessible.

Once a screening or event is sold out, it is sold out! We don’t hold back tickets for last-minute or rush purchases; our Box Office does have a waitlist but there are no guarantees that patrons will be accommodated. We recommend purchasing tickets in advance or checking out a different event instead.
