The 25th Green Mountain Film Festival opens its doors on Thursday, March 12 at 10 AM. Our festival hub will be located at The Bridge office at 5 East State Street, Montpelier (blue door next to Tossi Jewelry). In person ticket sales start at 10 AM on Thursday. If you would prefer to live help before then, please be in touch with Phayvanh: director@gmffestival.org.
Cash sales
While we can take credit/ debit cards and checks for in-person ticket sales, cash is always going to be faster. If you're purchasing a ticket at the theater, a cash sale will move the line along faster.
Waitlists for sold out shows
We will start a waitlist for sold out shows no sooner than 30 mins in advance of the show. If there are seats available, volunteers will let folks in about 5 minutes before show time. You must be present and on the waitlist in order to claim a seat.
What's a festival without a party?
The team has been planning some fun outings in addition to movie screenings.
