IDFA: sales dates and screening choices
The festival runs 12–22 November, but sales happen beforehand. Separate screening purchases from travel: a film in the programme reserves no seat.
Admission and ticket choice
The source announces regular general-public sales on 28 October and earlier access on 26 October for specific categories. Specials have other dates. Record the correct purchase date for your status rather than assuming one universal sale.
Build a workable visit
Prepare screenings and an alternative for each. Check venue, version and any discussion afterwards before booking a nearby session. Film running time alone cannot determine travel between cinemas.
