FAQ

How do I buy tickets?

To purchase tickets with cash, please email [email protected].

Do you offer refunds or exchanges?

We do not offer refunds or exchanges. Please be sure of your choices before making any purchases, and arrive on time on the day of the screening.
We request all ticket holders to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled screening start time, otherwise your seats may be released to the Rush line.

How do I get to the venue?

We strongly recommend you taking the public transit due to the high traffic volume in the downtown area.

● Innis Town Hall is located within Innis College on the University of Toronto‘s downtown campus, at the northwest corner of St. George Street and Sussex Avenue, just south of Bloor Street. It is a five-minute walk south from the St. George TTC Subway Station.
● There is limited street parking available on Sussex Avenue, Huron Street and St. George Street.

Scotiabank Theatre (259 Richmond Street West, Toronto, Ontario)

Can I still buy tickets online on the day of the screening?

Yes, you can. Please note that the tickets are subject to availability; we strongly recommend that tickets be purchased in advance.

Why do you charge service fees for buying tickets?

We use Eventbrite as the ticket purchase channel; the service fees are applied at the time of purchasing and charged entirely by Eventbrite.

Is it assigned seating?

Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. However, certain seats may be reserved for our sponsors, guests, media or other VIPs.

What about latecomers?

We request all ticket holders to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled screening start time, otherwise your seats may be released to the Rush line. We reserve the right to refuse to seat latecomers if it is too disruptive for the audience.

Can I take photo or video during the screening?

You cannot take photo or video during the screening because it is illegal to make a copy of a film or part of a film in any form without permission of the Festival or copyright owner. Any person who is recording or photographing without authorization may be removed from the premises at the discretion of Festival staff.

Are food and drink allowed in the theatre?

Food and drink are not allowed in the Innis Town Hall theatre. Only concession items purchased through Scotiabank Theatre are allowed in the Scotiabank Theatre auditorium.

Can children attend the Festival?

We are in the process of getting the films rated by the Ontario Film Review Board (OFRB). At this moment, we do not recommend people younger than 18 years old attending due to potential age restrictions. Please check back when we release our full programmes.

Yes, our venues are wheelchair friendly. Should you require companion or accessible seating, please send us an email at [email protected].
