Your 2026 guide to Digi60 tickets
Joining us at the Digi60 Filmmakers’ Festival, December 18–20, 2026? Here’s how ticketing and admission work.
Festival screenings take place on Friday, December 18 and Saturday, December 19. Explore the full program when it launches November 27 to plan your visit.
Festival Passes: on sale November 20
A Festival Pass includes all screenings throughout the festival, including the 60-Day Challenge and Community Shorts. Professional development programming is not included.
Festival Pass pricing will be available when passes go on sale November 20.
Passes go on sale before the full program is announced. Our 60-Day Challenge filmmakers have until November 26 to submit their films, so the final number of screening blocks will be confirmed after submissions close.
Full program and individual tickets: November 27 at 8 PM ET
The full festival program launches November 27 at 8 PM ET during our Festival Launch Party, including film details and the 60-Day Challenge screening order.
Individual screening ticket prices will be announced with the full program. Tickets go on sale at the same time through Zeffy.
Each ticket covers one specific screening block featuring several short films. You’ll choose your screening block when purchasing.

Passes for 60-Day Challenge filmmakers
Each 60-Day Challenge registrant receives one non-transferable Festival Pass with their registration.
Additional cast, crew, and co-directors must purchase their own Festival Passes or individual screening tickets.
Details on receiving and using your included pass will be shared with registered filmmakers before the festival.
Seating and arrival
Seating is unassigned. We recommend arriving 20–30 minutes before your screening to allow time for check-in and seating.
Individual ticket holders have admission to their selected screening block, provided they check in before the five-minute cutoff. Festival Pass holders, including registered filmmakers, are admitted on a first come, first served basis, subject to available capacity.
Five minutes before the screening starts, unclaimed seats may be released to the Rush line. After that point, admission can no longer be guaranteed, even with a ticket or pass.
Sold out? Try the Rush line
If a screening sells out, you can join the Rush line at the venue on the day of that screening.
Five minutes before the screening starts, we’ll begin admitting people from the Rush line as space allows. Rush tickets are payable by card only. Admission is subject to availability and is not guaranteed.
Each Rush line is for one specific screening. Once that screening starts, the line resets for the next screening.
Rush ticket pricing will be announced with the full program on November 27.
Between screenings
We’ll clear the theatre after each screening so our team can reset for the next one. You’ll need to check in again with a valid ticket or Festival Pass for the following screening.
Attending the next screening too? You’re welcome to leave your coat on your seat while you exit and check in again. Please confirm admission to the next screening with our team before doing so; leaving belongings does not guarantee admission.
If leaving and re-entering the theatre presents a mobility barrier, you’re welcome to remain seated. Simply raise your hand, and a Digi60 team member will come to check your ticket or pass for the next screening.
New this year: the festival café
Looking for somewhere to relax between screenings? Join us in Arts Court Studio on Saturday, December 19 for café-style seating, light snacks, and drinks available for purchase at the bar.
Catch up with friends, meet fellow filmmakers, or take a break from the festival bustle.
Food and drinks must remain in the Studio and cannot be brought into the screening theatre. Hours and further details will be shared closer to the festival.
Plan your visit
Screenings take place in the Alma Duncan Salon at the Ottawa Art Gallery, Level 3, 10 Daly Avenue, Ottawa. Check your ticket and the festival program for your screening date and time.
Ticket and pass check-in instructions will be shared before the festival.
