Industry

New this year, we are offering an Industry Pass for those in the film industry who want to participate in the 22nd Calgary Underground Film Festival (April 17-27, 2025).

Open to entertainment industry professionals at every level, accreditation provides you with special perks not available with a general festival pass.

All Industry Pass applications will be approved on a case-by-case basis.

Deadline to Apply: Monday, April 7, 2025
Cost: $99 + service fees & taxes

An industry pass gets you:

• Access to all film screenings, panels, and events (subject to capacity)
• Access to register for the Industry Roundtable Meetup (Sunday, April 20 – NEW EVENT)
• Invites to additional networking event(s)
• Tickets to attend a post-festival passholder private screening

PLAN YOUR TRIP

If you are attending from out of town, or even from Calgary and need accommodations close to the festival, we have hotel & flight discounts available for delegates:

FESTIVAL PASSES

If you are not part of the Industry, you can still purchase a CUFF 2025 Festival Pass starting on Wednesday, March 5 (Cost: $99 Flash Sale / $119 Early Bird / $139 Regular).

APPROVAL PROCESS & PASS CHANGES
Once approved, you'll receive a confirmation email with a private payment link. If not approved, due to a limited number of industry passes available, you can still purchase the regular festival pass and get access to all the same films and panels taking place at CUFF!

If you have already purchased a regular festival pass, while waiting for Industry Accreditation approval, we can transfer your pass to an Industry Pass once approved. The major difference between a Regular Festival Pass and an Industry Pass is access to the roundtable meetup and communications about networking events throughout the festival. We do not adjust pass pricing after you have purchased.
