Membership
The Documentary Media Society presents films that have not been seen by the BC Film Classification Board. Under BC law, anyone wishing to see these unclassified films must be a member of the Documentary Media Society and 18 years of age or older. When you purchase a membership for $2, you are entitled to attend any screening in 2009, provided you show your membership card.

The following films have been classified for younger audiences and will therefore not require a membership: Afghan Girls Can Kick, Chasing Wild Horses, Inside Hana’s Suitcase, The Tree Lover and To The Tar Sands.

Theatre Procedures for Festival Passholders
Bring your festival pass to Will Call to receive your admittance ticket(s) for the film(s) you wish to see at that venue for that day. Once you have your ticket you may join the ticket holders queue. Passholders must arrive at the venue at least 20 minutes prior to the screening. A festival pass does not guarantee you seating to sold-out shows. Your DOXA festival pass gives you access to all screenings except Opening Night. All passes are strictly non-transferable and passholders are required to show ID and valid membership.

Advance Tickets
Advance tickets are available for purchase until 9pm the day before the screening.
