Buy a Festival Pass
For the film buffs we sell a limited number of festival passes. A Festival Pass is personal and only works with a valid I.D. issued in the same name as the festival pass holder. So carry both your ID and Festival Pass with you at all times.
As festival pass holder you are not guaranteed a seat since our venues are small. However there are up to 4 screenings in different halls in the Díseart running simultaneously. You enter a hall simply by showing your festival pass. You do not need any extra ticket.
Make sure to come 10 min before the screening.
