Our 17th annual event will be held in-person at the RPL Nordlof Center on September 13th, 14th, and 15th. You can purchase your full fest or individual day passes online here. A full weekend VIP pass is just $10 and is good for all screenings of the fest. A one-day ticket is $5 and is good for all screenings on that day.
Screenings not sold out in advance online will have “day of” tickets for sale at the Nordlof Center box office beginning on Sept. 13th. A one-day ticket is $5 and is good for all screenings on that day. At the box office cash is preferred, but we can also accept most major credit cards.
Rockford Public Library members with a valid library ID and High School/College students with a valid school ID can receive a screening pass for free if seats for that screening are not sold out in advance. You will need to check in-person with the MWFF box office staff the day you plan on attending. All screenings are recommended for ages 15 and up.
Filmmakers who have work in the festival receive a full weekend VIP pass that allows for them and a guest to attend any session. They may pick those up at the RPL Nordlof Theater box office any day of the fest.
