Get Lost in at Least 10 Films with a Simple Pass

In case you haven’t heard of the True/False Film Fest before now, here’s a quick primer:

  • Thursday–Sunday, March 2-5, 2017
  • Downtown Columbia, Missouri
  • ~37 of the newest creative non-fiction feature films from around the world (+ 20 shorts)
  • ~40 bands and 13 concerts
  • 4 parties
  • 1 parade

 

Thinking about coming to True/False and want an affordable way to catch at least 10 screenings? Say hello to the Simple Pass.

To cover the basics: the Simple is our “films only” pass that allows you to reserve up to 10 screenings (Friday-Sunday) on-line before the festival begins. Plus, you can gain admission to additional screenings for free on any day of the Fest by using our last-minute line, affectionately called “the Q.” During the festival, if you change your mind about something you want to see, it gives you the freedom to swap out tickets (if we have tickets) at the box office, OR use the Q at any screening (if we don’t), for no additional charge.

The Q gives you the chance to see a movie that you don’t have a reserved ticket for.

The Q may sound tricky to explain, but it’s actually easy once you’ve done it. If it’s your first time, just find the most flamboyantly dressed person at the venue – that’s the Q Queen! These colorful folks are mobile information stations, and they’ll tell you exactly how to Q. Be sure to arrive at the screening at least 1 hour early to get your Q number.

The major benefit (with all of our pass types), is that because with your pass purchase you are opting into the whole festival weekend, we want to make it easy for you to get what you want. We don’t sell individual tickets to the general public online, nor at all, in advance of the festival. Your pass opens that door to let you reserve your tickets in advance and plan out your weekend.

Simple ticket reservations begin at 6:00 pm on Sunday, February 19. Detailed instructions HERE. We strongly recommend purchasing a pass before then.

Still not convinced? Don’t take our word for it:

We look forward to seeing you in downtown Columbia March 2-5!
