Membership Information
When you become a Whistler Film Festival Society’s Member, you receive preferred benefits for the Whistler FIlm Festival as well as discounts from some of our preferred partners in Whistler, and support the kind of original and innovative storytelling that is establishing Whistler as a pre-eminent destination that connects the art and business of film.

Tickets are transferable. Passes are not transferable. Ticket and pass holders must adhere to Festival policies. Attendance at certain events and films may be subject to age-based restrictions.

All memberships valid for one year from sign-up. No refunds, no exchanges. WFFS has the right to refuse membership.

SOCIETY MEMBERSHIP | $3

You must be age 18 or older and a member of our registered non-profit society to attend most films at the Whistler Film Festival. Why? Because most of the films we screen are unclassified (for example, no G, PG, 14A, 18A or R Ratings) and, under B.C. law, in order to see unclassified films you must be a registered member of a film society.

Films for under 18s - The Whistler Film Festival does seek classification for as many films as possible to enable under-18s to attend. Classified films will be listed under Films for Youth-18. If you're a high school teacher or a student, please visit our Reel Canada High School Outreach Program.

Society Membership is only $3. It's good for the whole festival (in other words, you don't have to pay $3 extra for every ticket you buy). Click here to add your membership to your shopping cart and then continue shopping for passes, or tickets. Society memberships are good for one year. They expire one year from the date that you purchase your membership.
