Use of festival pass

The festival pass is personal and gives free access to all the films during the festival, but tickets have to be collected before the screenings. Screenings may be sold out, so it can be a good idea to book tickets well in advance. It is only possible to collect one ticket per screening.

If you have a festival pass and can’t come to a screening you have booked tickets for we encourage you to return the ticket to the cinema. In this way someone else will have the opportunity to take your place. Many of our screenings are sold out, and we do not wish to have empty seats at sold out screenings.

Refunds or exchange of tickets

We follow the cinemas’ guidelines for refund and exchange of tickets. Contact the cinemas:

Vega Scene

Nordisk Film Kino

Cosmopolite Scene

Age limits

All films screened at Films from the South have age limits. You can read about them on the film pages on our programme site. Information about age limits in general can be found at Medietilsynet.

All the festival cinemas are wheelchair accessible. Contact the cinemas directly if you have any questions.
