150 films will be screened from Oct 10-17. A BIFF Bison Pass is available until Sept. 1.

This year’s edition of the Buffalo International Film Festival (number 18—it’s legal!) has been expanded from the usual five days to eight days, from Oct. 10-17. More than 150 films from 30 countries are expected to be screened.

While final selections are still being made, the first two dozen films have been announced on the BIFF website. Screenings will be held at the North Park Theater, Hallwalls and the Buffalo-Toronto Public Media facility at WNED Studios. 

Individual tickets are available, but the best bargain by far is the BIFF Bison Pass, It’s $60 if you buy it before Sept. 1, making the cost of a single viewing as low as $1.50 at five viewings a day. A pass also includes a free drink at BIFF events. Get yours here.
