Press Accreditation

PRESS Accreditation Policy and Benefits

We are happy to extend accreditation to media professionals and journalists who wish to cover the festival’s programs. A maximum of (2) people per media outlet may be accredited. Additional accreditations will be subject to an accreditation fee.

Accreditation requests must be received by July 6. Accreditation is by no means immediate and is subject to the approval of festival organizers. AAIFF will notify you with details on your credential and access to the festival via email if and when your request is approved. Badges may be picked up at the will call table.

Accreditation Policy
Press Accreditation is offered to a select number of media professionals. We accept requests for Accreditation from freelance journalists and representatives of media outlets who have a professional interest in attending the Festival. Accreditation is granted at the discretion of the Festival, and application is no guarantee of acceptance. Accreditation is granted to individuals and is non-transferable.

Accreditation Benefits
With AAIFF’13 Accreditation you will receive an official festival badge providing the following benefits:

• Admission to 16 Regular Admission film screenings–one ticket per show. You will receive and need to fill out a ticket request form after your press accreditation is approved. Your reserved tickets can be picked up at the will-call area.  If a film is sold out by the time you submit the ticket request, you may wait in the “Rush Line”, which forms one hour before showtime. Upon seating availability, you may receive a free ticket with your badge.
