You can also purchase a four-day, VIP pass for $150 and a VIP Deluxe pass for $200 that includes some extras, like a shirt, poster, and popcorn.

With 32 different blocks of films curated by genre and/or topic, and you can purchase a ticket to any of these for $10.

Streaming access is also available for those out-of-town, unable to get to the Cinema Center, or for anyone who wants to rewatch Hobnobben screenings.
