Accreditations for IFFR 2026 now on sale
Industry pros, journalists and students – accreditation for IFFR 2026 is now open!

IFFR is a meeting point for ideas, perspectives and creative minds from across the world of cinema, celebrating film in all its forms with a full industry programme of panels, conversations and daily networking receptions.
New for 2026: Art Directions accreditation
Art Directions is IFFR’s transformative programme that presents cinema beyond the traditional screening room – through immersive media, performances, installations and exhibitions. Originally named Exploding Cinema, the programme celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2026.
This year, we’re happy to offer our new IFFR Art Directions accreditation, designed for artists, filmmakers, producers, curators and industry professionals working at the intersection of visual arts, immersive media, and cinema. This new badge offers priority access to IFFR’s Art Directions programme and a tailored programme of networking opportunities and special events for professionals in the field.
