All film festival screenings will take place in Theatre 2 of the Showroom Cinema in downtown Asbury Park from Friday, October 18th to Sunday, October 20th, 2024. Entry to all film screenings requires a festival pass or ticket that may be easily purchased online via FilmFreeway.

We ask guests to please purchase all tickets in advance, as this is the easiest and most effective way for our team to handle festival passes and guest check-in onsite.

Please Note: All seating is on a first come, first serve basis and despite the best efforts of the festival team in advertising these screenings, there is never a guarantee of how well-attended (or not) any particular screening block may be – as this fluctuates depending on a variety of factors.

Filmmaker Badges

Filmmakers, with films being screened in this year’s festival program, are eligible to receive up to two free all-access weekend badges. These badges can be used by any cast and/or crew directly involved with the film who will be attending the festival in-person.

To arrange for these badges to be reserved, filmmakers should contact the festival team to communicate specific attendance details, at least one week prior to the start of the festival. Any additional festival tickets/passes, beyond the two, will need to be purchased at regular price.

Festival Program

The festival program is subject to last minute changes and we thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation should any update be necessary.

Note about Q&As: There are 15mins or less between each screening block, just enough time to stretch, visit the restroom, get a snack, but not enough time for a proper Q&A with filmmakers who may be in attendance. This allows us more time to screen more films. Please take advantage of all the wonderful festival events for a chance to connect with filmmakers.
