Altour-150Opening Night is presented by Delta Air Lines and Altour International.

If you don’t have tickets, the Rush Line is your best bet: At any screening or event at HIFF 2016, you can queue up before the screenings—and we have the film showing on two screens, Guild Hall at 6:30 and East Hampton UA at 7:00. About 5 minutes before showtime, after an in-theater headcount, we will accommodate as many viewers from the Rush Lines as possible. Good luck!


If Rush Lines aren’t your cup of tea, there are still plenty of tickets available for screenings all day long, including international gems, Competition films and more!
