Thank you for purchasing a VIP Pass for the 2016 Festival! With the purchase of a VIP Pass, you get access to over 75 events over the course of the 4-day festival. While this number may seem daunting, we want to ensure that your GIFF experience is tailored to fit the experience you want.
Below you will find all of the necessary information you will need to make your time at GIFF truly memorable. Please email Lindsey Hascher, the VIP Concierge directly at Lindsey@greenwichfilm.org if you have any questions regarding the Festival.

PREMIER, CINEPHILE, FOUNDING, and PLATINUM FOUNDING MEMBERS: Your pass gives you entry to all GIFF 2016 Festival events. The only difference between these pass levels is the number of tickets you receive to each event. To clarify the number of tickets you receive, please contact the VIP Concierge.
HOW YOUR PASS WORKS
Your VIP Pass can be picked up from our Box Office on June 7th-9th. This pass is your ticket in to each event you wish to attend. This means that you can attend any screening or panel as long as you have your VIP pass. For some of our more popular events, we do ask that you RSVP due to limited capacity, so we can ensure that you have premier seating. The VIP Concierge will be in contact regarding which events you should RSVP for.
Our Box Office address is 19 West Elm Street, Greenwich, CT. The VIP Concierge will be at the Box Office June 7th-9th to answer any questions you have regarding the Festival.
