The Calgary Underground Film Festival
A Festival Pass gets you access to all films taking place at CUFF 2026. Each pass is valid for one single ticket, which must be claimed in advance online, or from our festival box office. An allotment of tickets for passholders are set aside for each screening. Each pass must be assigned to one email and cannot be shared. If you'd like to share tickets, a 5 film multi-pack is your best option. For instructions on how to use your pass click here.
With a 5-film multi-pack, you have the flexibility to watch five films at the festival however you wish. You must use your code to select the film you want to see and claim tickets in advance. Multi-packs can be shared, and multiple tickets can be redeemed for one screening. For instructions on how to use your multi-pack click here. *Credits cannot be redeemed for Opening Night Screening & Party or Saturday Morning Cartoons*
