Only one week until the curtain rises on the 10th Nitrate Picture Show! Our final waitlist offers will be going out in the next few days. If you are not able to secure a pass to all screenings, we encourage interested attendees to check our webpage for the film schedule next Thursday, then come to the box office for single tickets before each showtime. These will be sold based on seating availability once all passholders have been seated. Purchasing is not guaranteed.

If you have already purchased a pass and cannot make it to the festival this year, please contact us via phone or email by May 29 and we will process your refund and make room for someone off the waitlist!

These are once-in-a-lifetime screenings, and we do not want to leave a single vacant seat if we can help it!
