General FAQs
(click on each question for drop-down answers)
Which badge is right for me?
The Nashville Film Festival offers a variety of badges to suit different interests. If you’re looking for maximum access to every screening and event in-person and online, then the Icon Badge is for you. If you want to enjoy maximum access with a plus one, we recommend the Icon+ Package. Our Creators Conference badge is for folks who want access to all the panels with film and music industry pros, as well related happy hours and mixers. Lastly, if you’re a cinephile only interested in seeing movies, we recommend the Film Focus badge to save on in-person film tickets.
Does the festival have a mobile app?
Download our Mobile App for easy access to the festival schedule, your tickets, the film guide, and more! Search “Nashville Film Festival” in the Apple App Store and Google Play.
Does the festival accept cash?

When should I arrive at screenings?
Theater doors open approximately 30 minutes prior to each screening. Ticket holders must be present and in line 15 minutes prior to showtime to guarantee entry.
What if a screening is sold out?
If a screening that you want to attend is sold out, we encourage you to keep checking for availability. Tickets may become available if badge holders cancel their tickets. In some cases, a “rush line” will be set up for sold out screenings prior to showtime, and our theater staff will do their best to fill any open seats.
