COVID PROTOCOLS

HIFF29 will be our most unique festival to date. With the COVID-19 pandemic ongoing, we continue to closely monitor and follow all local, state, and national public health guidelines. To protect the health and safety of festival participants and our local community, we’ve instituted the following policies:

Visit hamptonsfilmfest.org/safety for the most current policies.

All festival attendees will be required to show proof of

vaccination status. This includes filmmakers, industry delegates, board, audiences, sponsors, donors, staff, and volunteers. Attendees must carry proof of vaccination status on their person at all times. Pass holders who cannot show proof of vaccination, who have had a recent COVID infection, or who are currently experiencing symptoms will not receive their pass. Ticket holders will be asked to show proof of vaccine at the door for each event, allowing us to perform contact tracing if necessary.

To show proof of vaccination, all attendees must provide a completed vaccination card or official digital pass to prove full vaccination has been completed at least 14 days prior to Opening Night (October 7). Visit epass.ny.gov to download New York State’s free Excelsior Pass or download the NYC COVID Safe App for seamless entry. Any international visitors must show a hard copy of an official vaccination record administered outside the U.S.

Regardless of vaccination status, masks covering the nose and mouth are required for audiences at all screening

venues. For the safety of everyone, guests unable to wear proper face coverings will not be admitted into the venue or will be asked to leave if unable to comply with policy.

Indoor venue capacities will be reduced to ensure social distancing, and turnover times between screenings will increase to allow for sanitizing surfaces before and after each show. Hand sanitizer will be provided at all HIFF venues by our Clean & Safe Partner, Clean Republic. We encourage attendees to make use of sanitizer before entering indoor spaces.
