THREE STEPS TO FEST



PICK


The film festival might seem overwhelming with over 200 films to choose from, but we did the hard part, watching and sitting through thousands of films to make the DALLAS International Film Festival as memorable as possible. Click here for our online box office.






PASS


Buy a money-saving festival pass or รก la carte tickets in advance at the Box Office. Impulsive festival goers can grab day-of-show tickets at the various theaters. Impulsive festival goers will have priority seating at regular screenings. Passes are still available. Click here to purchase your pass today!






PLAY!


Check the map for directions to participating theaters in the Dallas area. Seating may be limited and is only guaranteed up to 20 minutes prior to the screening, even with a festival pass, so we strongly recommend arriving early to find parking, grab some popcorn, and get a seat. Sit back, let the film play, and by all means, repeat!






*Many of the films presented at the DALLAS International Film Festival have not yet been rated by the Motion Picture Association of America; please read the descriptions carefully.






**Screening times and venues subject to change.


The 2011 Festival, slated for March 31 – April 10, will be a not to be missed event. Marking the 5th Anniversary of the Fest, DIFF staff and patrons will embark on this historic Festival from the world renowned Winspear Opera House in the Dallas Arts District. Following a stellar Opening Night Screening and gala will be the next 10 days of cinema, panels, education, red carpets, concerts, discussions, parties and much more!
