Overview
Beginning with ABFF 2027, attending the festival is easier and more flexible than ever with ABFF Digital Passes. Designed to provide greater convenience and control, Digital Passes allow you to build a personalized festival itinerary by reserving eligible film screenings, panel discussions, celebrity conversations, and Signature Evening Events before individual tickets become available.
Whether you are joining us for a single day or the entire festival, there is a Digital Pass designed to fit your schedule and interests. Industry, Power, Essentials, and Day Digital Pass holders may reserve eligible events through the ABFF Reservation Portal on a first-come, first-served basis until each event reaches capacity, providing access before individual tickets are released.
Purchasing a Digital Pass does not automatically reserve admission to any event. A specific event is secured only after a reservation has been confirmed and the pass holder arrives by the published cutoff time.
Choose the pass that is right for you, create your own festival experience, and enjoy ABFF with greater flexibility, less waiting, and the confidence of planning your schedule in advance.
