How can I tell if a screening does not accept vouchers or passes?

SIFF Cinema vouchers (including Member, Volunteer, and other complimentary screening vouchers) are valid for most regular priced shows. However, some have restrictions. For a list of the films and events for which SIFF Cinema year-round passes and vouchers will not be accepted, visit our Pass and Voucher Exclusions page.

Does SIFF still offer streaming films?

Availability of streaming films is limited due to distributors prioritizing in-theater releases.
If streaming titles become available to watch on the SIFF Channel, we will announce them via weekly e-news and on the website.
