Don’t worry if you couldn’t get an advance ticket – a few last-minute seats are released for almost all festival screenings. Rush lines start forming for each show at its venue, starting one hour before the showtime, and any open tickets will be made available to the line on a first-come, first-served basis starting 15 minutes before the screening. Festival staff on site can direct you to your line and answer any further questions.
