The 12th Sun Valley Film Festival will take place March 29th – April 2rd, 2023. 

Depending upon which pass you purchase (information about our passes and levels can be found on our Passes Page), you have access to various festival perks. The primary difference between passes has to do with the entrance priority. Priority access order: Patron, Insider and Festival & Film. 

Access to events and films differs for each type of pass. Entrance to each event is given in the following pass order: Patron (first priority), Insider (first priority), and then Festival (level two) and Film and Student (level three). 

All passholders must arrive 30 minutes prior to the scheduled event in order to take advantage of priority access.

Tickets are for films and films only – and exactly like tickets you purchase at the movie theater. Ticket holders are also admitted after the passholders.

Individual Tickets are $15

All passes will be available for pick up at the Box Office at the Argyros (120 Main St. South, Ketchum) starting Tuesday, March 28. 

Tickets purchased online  are redeemed with the digital receipt you were emailed at purchase. If you prefer to have a physical ticket, stop by the Box Office in advance.
