• IFI Friend Membership is valid for a year from the date of sign up. Friend memberships cannot be exchanged or refunded.
• IFI Premiere Friends can avail of a maximum of 2 membership discounted tickets per screening. All other IFI Friend tiers can avail of a maximum of 4 membership discounted tickets per screening. Additional tickets may be purchased at full price. Membership discounted tickets are not available for certain events such as 70mm screenings, or other free list suspended events.
