COVID SAFETY POLICY:
All AFI FEST attendees will be required to show proof of full vaccination (14 days after your final dose) against COVID-19 along with a matching photo identification each day you participate at AFI FEST.
Proof of vaccination should include your name, type of COVID-19 vaccine and date of dose administration.
Please note: “fully vaccinated” means more than two (2) weeks has passed since receiving your one dose vaccine (Johnson & Johnson /Janssen) or your second dose of mRNA vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna) or other FDA or World Health Organization-approved vaccine (Sinovac, AstraZeneca, Sinopharm and Covishield)
If you are not able to provide proof of vaccination due to a medical condition or religious belief, you will need to provide a negative PCR-based COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of entry. Antigen tests will not be accepted.
Being unable to provide proof of full vaccination or a recent negative test will result in being denied entry to the event.
Masks required at all times.
VIRTUAL SCREENING NOTES:
Due to restrictions from filmmakers and film distributors, films and events are available for a limited time and with limited capacity – and they can sell out. We strongly recommend selecting or purchasing the films and events you want to attend before the festival begins on November 10.
Once a film you have selected becomes available, you will have 48 hours to start watching. Once you begin, you’ll have 48 hours to finish watching. After you unlock a program, note the amount of time you have to begin and finish watching a particular film.
