Tickets on sale for 2016 Footcandle Film Festival!

Tickets are now on sale to the general public for the 2016 Footcandle Film Festival!  The festival will be held September 23rd to 25th, 2016, at the Drendel Auditorium on the SALT Block.

Here’s a rundown of the festival schedule and ticket prices:

On Friday, September 23rd, we will get an early start to the festival by showing two North Carolina-based documentaries.  Each of these two screenings will be $5.00 per ticket.

Then, later that night is our Opening Night event where we screen our short film selections, followed by an opening night reception in the gallery of the Hickory Museum of Art.  For those brave and more “adventurous” viewers there will be a second late-night screening of edgier shorts we’re calling the “Night Gallery” following the reception.  The ticket price for this evening’s event is $20.00 per person, and includes food and drink at the reception.

On Saturday, September 24th – and running all day and evening – we will be screening our seven (7) narrative features in the Drendel Auditorium on the SALT Block.  Then, on Sunday, September 25th – and running until mid-afternoon – we will be screening our four (4) documentary features also in the Drendel Auditorium on the SALT Block.  All individual film screenings for both days will be $5.00 per ticket.

At 6:30pm on Sunday there will be an awards ceremony at The Crossing at Hollar Mill where festival winners will be announced and a great dinner will be served.  The ticket for the ceremony and dinner is $30.00 per person.

Can’t choose which films to attend?  Starting this year, we are introducing “passes” for the festival.  You can choose to purchase a “Feature Film Pass” which will provide you with tickets for all thirteen (13) feature-length films throughout the weekend.  These passes are $50.00 and provide you with one ticket for each of the films (a $15.00 savings).  Each ticket can be given to someone else if you are unable to attend some of the films.

If you are interesting in attending ALL of the events for the weekend — the Opening Night Short Film Event & Reception, all thirteen feature films, and the Closing Night Awards Ceremony & Dinner, you can purchase an “All Access Pass” for $100.00!
