How it works: your Full Weekend Pass gets you into all three days. Since each day is ticketed separately on Eventbrite, check in at each venue's box office with the name on your pass, there's no single scan-in ticket that covers all three, our volunteers will have your name on the list at every door.

Kicking things off Oct 18 at SFMOMA with a free screening, no pass needed, get your free ticket here.
