Mark your calendars! The 2026 Washington West Film Festival is officially set for October 8–12, 2026!

This year, we’re thrilled to introduce a brand-new way to fest with us: Festival Passes! Designed to make your festival experience smoother, easier, and even more exciting, we are rolling out two tiers to fit your festival goals:

• General Festival Pass ($100): Unlimited access to regular-priced feature films, regular short programs (excluding Short Film Friday), and student showcases.
• Premium Festival Pass ($250): The VIP treatment! Unlimited access to all films including Opening Night Film + After Party, Short Film Friday, Closing Night Film + After Party, and priority line access.

Why go passholder? Both pass options give you exclusive, early access to reserve your movie seats on our website before tickets open to the general public. Browse the lineup, lock in your favorite screenings early, and get ready for a weekend of inspiring stories, unforgettable Q&As, and great conversations!
