What People Are Saying!
May 19, 2010
Each year, EIFF hosts a feast of artists (directors, writers, actors) and film buffs at our cinematic celebration… and many of them walk away having ‘changed’ in some way.
The FULL 2010 EIFF SCHEDULE is now LIVE! Just click on the the little red 'schedule' tab at the top of the page, and you're good to go! The EIFF Schedule has all sorts of great interactive features - you can create your very own MyFestival account and create an online calendar of all the films YOU want to see, and Festival Genius will help you organize your week for a worry-free week of moviegoing!
Now that the schedule is live, we'll be making all sorts of announcements in the weeks leading up to the festival about parties, guests, and all sorts of other surprises. Be sure to check out our blog and visit us on Twitter and Facebook to make sure you don't miss out an any info!
REEL DEAL Passes and 6-Packs for the upcoming 2010 EIFF are NOW AVAILABLE to purchase online through TIX on the Square, and will be available for purchase through TIX until September 30th!
The EIFF REEL DEAL (All Access) Festival Pass is your 'Cadillac' of passes - this beauty will allow you priority access into ALL films and parties throughout the festival (including Opening and Closing Night Gala), and is fully transferable. Heck, if you see just 5 movies plus our Opening and Closing Night GALAS(both of which include admission to the film and exclusive after-party!), this pass will have paid for itself! It's the best festival deal in town, and it's the only way to ensure PRIORITY seating access for every film at this year's festival!
The EIFF 6-PACK is a package of 6 individual tickets that you can use yourself or share with friends - these tickets are valid for ANY regularly-priced film (*Opening & Closing Galas, and Special Event screenings excluded).This is a great option if you want to check out a taste of what the festival has to offer.

Of course EIFF is all about the films, but that doesn’t mean we can’t let our hair down after a full day of soaking in award-winning films from around the globe!
Yep. They were THAT good. Usually our jury chooses their top 10. This year, they went with TWELVE!
