The festival accreditation allows you to access the international competition screenings without paying for individual tickets. We recommend you show up at least 15 minutes before the screening: you will find places reserved for accredited people. Remember to always collect your free ticket at the cash desk (Sala Cervi, Via Riva di Reno, 72/A and at the Cineteca di Bologna ticket office for screenings in the Scorsese Room) before entering the theatre, presenting your accreditation.

Sala Cervi has limited capacity, therefore we invite you to book your seat in advance and to always show up at least 15 minutes before the start of the screening.
