Please plan appropriately. Reserved Seats: Please DO NOT sit in a reserved seat unless it has been arranged for you by name, badge type, or specific indication on your ticket.

Masks will be required for all indoor MVFF45 events, unless actively eating or drinking. Masks are strongly encouraged for outdoor events.

RUSH TICKETS

When we run out of advance tickets for an in-theater program, tickets will no longer be available for purchase ahead of time and “At Rush!” will appear on the online ticketing page — but this doesn’t necessarily mean we are sold out. Sometimes we can release a limited number of tickets on the day of the program online at noon and/or at the theater 15 minutes before showtime. For the latter option, we recommend joining the rush line 45 minutes before showtime. At the venue, rush tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

REFUND POLICY

All ticket orders are final. No refunds, exchanges, substitutions, or reprints. MVFF is not responsible for lost, stolen, forgotten, or damaged tickets. We will refund your ticket(s) if you are unable to attend a screening due to your (or anyone in your household) COVID exposure, or due to community conditions that require a screening or event cancellation. Please contact help@cafilm.org to request a refund.

CONTENT ADVISORY

Please bear in mind that our films are making their first entrances into the world before public audiences. Note that, unlike commercial cinema, the majority of our films are not yet rated. We thank you for bearing that in mind as you make your choices.
