INDIVIDUAL TICKETING GUARANTEED

We sell a very limited amount of individual tickets to screenings and events. Your purchased ticket will guarantee entry to your screening/event, as long as you arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled start time. After the 15-minute mark, we’ll start filling in seats with our Passholder Walk-Up Line, so as long as you’re on time, you can rest assured you’ll be able to get in.

Please note individual tickets will be priced at $18 for 2026. A festival pass is highly recommended.

SCREENING SOLD OUT AND DON’T HAVE A PASS? TRY THE RUSH LINE!

If no individual tickets are available for a screening, don’t be discouraged! You can try purchasing tickets via the Rush Line. Once pass and ticket holders are seated for a screening, we will start selling tickets to the Rush Line to fill any empty seats. While we might be selling less individual tickets, the Rush Line can be a great opportunity to snag a seat.

OVERLOOK LAGNIAPPE

Overlook Lagniappe returns April 19th through April 22nd with repeat screenings of select films and retro titles for both out of town movie sickos who want to see it all and locals who may not be able to make the weekend festivities. 

Overlook Lagniappe will be open to Passholders. There are no reservations for these screenings, Final Girl and Camper Passholders will be able to access them with their pass via the Passholder Walk-up Line with Final Girl Passholders being let in first.

HEADQUARTERS AND VENUES

Our box office, most film screenings, panels, and live shows will be held at our Festival Headquarters, the Prytania Theatres At Canal Place at the edge of the French Quarter. 

Additional screenings will take place at the Historic Prytania Theatre Uptown, a 100 + year-old institution with the distinction of being the longest continually operated theater in the south.
