2026 Bison Pass

Enjoy the best of the fest! Access to all of BIFF's screenings, parties, events and more!

Each Bison Pass provides one (1) corresponding seat to any of the 200+ films from 40+ countries at the theater, a free drink (or 2) at each festival party, and admission (1x per Bison Pass) to the Buffalo AKG Art Museum during the festival October 8-15.

Online registration is required in order to use your pass to reserve seats to theatrical screenings in advance. Each pass holder should register individually. Once you have set up your account, you can reserve all theatrical screenings via Eventive. (unless they have sold out)

Physical Bison Passes can be picked up either at our Zero/Charm Party on Thursday October 8 at House of Charm, or at the North Park Theatre throughout the festival during operating hours, until just before our last show on October 15.

Please note: theatrical seating is on a first come, first served basis. Reservations to all events are strongly recommended.

Please also note: to use BIFF's All-Access Bison Pass to visit the Buffalo AKG Art Museum, you will need to bring your pass with you to the museum and check in at admissions.
