Accredited guests (CineMart, Industry and Press guests) are welcome to attend the extensive programme of Press & Industry Screenings. As Public Screenings tend to be very busy and often fully booked, we strongly advise you to schedule your personal programme around the Press & Industry Screenings which take place from Thursday 24 January through Friday 1 February, during the day and in the evening in de Doelen, Cinerama, LantarenVenster and Pathé Schouwburgplein. All venues are within walking distance except LantarenVenster. For access to the Press & Industry Screenings, badge holders do not have to get a ticket. At the entrance of the Press & Industry screening auditoriums, your badge will be scanned. In the IFFR catalogue, the Press & Industry Screening Schedule is combined with the Public Screenings. Schedule changes are published in the Daily Tiger and on the Festival website. The latest print versions of schedule changes are also available at the Box Offices and at the Guest and Press Desk. On Monday 21 January from 12 noon, guests can order tickets online for the whole festival period. If tickets for a film screening are no longer available, it is still possible to obtain tickets which may become available later. These tickets will be available online from 8 pm on the evening before the day on which the film is screened and can be bought from the central box office. Guests can cancel
