How to manage your community event listing

Managing your listing, which comprises the listing itself and the screenings (you can have as many as you like), is simple. One community pass equals one listing. This article guides you through the steps.

How do I sell tickets for my community event?

The ticketing solution you choose is entirely up to you. This article contains links to some that have been used by other hosts.

How to select films for my community event.

There are several ways in which our hosts select films for their community events. This article will guide you through the tools available to you.

How does the Community Pass / Community Event film limit work?

As standard, each Community pass is limited to 3 hours or 180 minutes of film footage. Read on to find out how this works.

How does the Community Pass work?

The community pass gives you early access to the festival shortlist, allowing you to build community pages, create screenings for your community and create film reels.

Can I use my Household Gift Card for a Community Pass

Yes, you can use your Household Pass gift card to buy a Community Pass. The gift card is worth £20 so you will just need to pay the balance.

We are not UK-based, so can we get a Community Pass?

Yes, you can purchase a community pass and run community events worldwide. Last year, clubs ran events in Kenya, Rovaniemi and Melbourne. All we ask is that your event raises funds for a good cause and is not for profit.

How does the Household Pass work?

The household pass allows you to watch all the shortlisted films for this year's LMFF; you can only access the Festival Player during the festival's days.
