MEMBERSHIP
DOXA presents films that have not been seen by Consumer Protection BC. 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 $3, you are entitled to attend any screening in 2012, provided you show your membership card.
The following films have been classified for younger audiences and will therefore not require a membership: Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry, Bear 71, Four Horsemen, LoveMEATender, Salaam Dunk, Stock Characters: The Cooking Show, Story of Burqa: Case of a Confused Afghan, and Vanishing Point.
THEATRE PROCEDURES FOR FESTIVAL PASSHOLDERS
Bring your festival pass to Will Call to receive your ticket for the film(s) you wish to see at that venue for that day. 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 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. Please note: no one will be admitted once the film has begun.
