HOW TO FESTIVAL 2021
The 30th Woods Hole Film Festival will be held as a combination of in-person and virtual screenings and events. Patrons will be able to attend screenings and events both in-person and virtually via computer, television or other electronic device, and will have a number of different pass and ticket options. Selecting the option that is best for you will depend on the Festival experience you prefer…
If you want to attend films in person…
- Options: TICKETS, TICKET PACKAGES
Patrons who prefer to attend live in-person screenings will have the option to purchase individual tickets and ticket packages to see any film scheduled to screen at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s Redfield Auditorium, 45 Water Street, Woods Hole, MA; the Simon Center for the Arts at Falmouth Academy 8 Highfield Drive, Falmouth, MA and Cotuit Center for the Arts 4404 Falmouth Road, Cotuit, MA. Street parking is available in Woods Hole for patrons who plan to attend screenings at Redfield Auditorium. On site parking is available for patrons who attend screenings at Falmouth Academy and Cotuit Center for the Arts.
Ticket packages and individual tickets are on sale now. We highly recommend that you purchase a ticket in advance to any film you would like to see in-person because tickets sell out early and venue capacity is limited. Some films will be followed by a live Q&A with the filmmaker.
Each in-person film will screen at a specific time and venue. The screening schedule is available on the Festival website through the ticket page and on the Festival one-sheet. The printed one-sheet is available to pick up at the Festival office and is downloadable from the website. The schedule of in-person screenings may change both prior to and post- ticket purchase, so please check the website often for the most up-to-date information. All in-person screening options are subject to state and local public health requirements, as well as any requirements imposed by the host venue. Covid restrictions may apply and patrons will need to comply with all Covid requirements in order to gain entry to a venue. Please check venue requirements prior to attending.
COVID REQUIREMENTS – ALL PATRONS WILL BE REQUIRED TO WEAR A MASK AT EACH SCREENING VENUE TO ENTER AND WATCH A FILM. A PATRON WHO IS NOT VACCINATED IS ENCOURAGED TO PURCHASE A VIRTUAL TICKET OR PASS.
