The 72nd kicked off with a bang at cinemas across the city last week. Running from August 8th until August 25th, the festival is a celebration of the Australian and International film industry. Events like MIFF are a great way to broaden your movie genre horizons and to feel inspired by the world around you.
But if you were hesitant to buy tix after checking your bank balance this week, don’t fret. This year, MIFF has created an so you don’t need to worry about your savings balance in exchange for world-class culture. You can nab a one-off membership for $25 and then you’ll get free admission to any three off-peak standard sessions across the festival.
Off-peak means screenings on Monday to Friday that start before 5pm. Perfect if you’re a uni student with a free period or fancy taking a half-day off work in order to soak up Melbourne’s movie magic. If you’re not eligible for the U26 pass, MIFF is also providing film buffs with $10 (!) Rush Tix.
Each day at 12pm, MIFF will release a bunch of discounted Rush Tix to select films. You can keep an eye on the sessions via MIFF’s and . But, it’s first come, first served, so be sure to stay on top of the drops for those sweet, sweet discounted tickets.
While film festivals are an amazing way to experience movies you wouldn’t normally watch and provide you with a fail-safe date night idea for a good three weeks, in my experience, these incredible programs can often create a bit of decision fatigue. How do you choose.
