Cinemas & FAQ
Where do I buy tickets?
Tickets are sold through each partner cinema’s own booking site. QCinema’s Partner Cinemas page links to all six. Ticket prices are not listed on the festival site, so check the cinema when you book.
What is the QCinephile Festival Badge?
A prepaid badge with screening credits, where one credit reserves one seat for one film. It comes in 5 credits (₱1,250), 10 credits (₱2,500) and 15 credits (₱3,750), each with exclusive merch. Badge holders get priority online booking on November 10–11, before general booking opens on November 13 at 12:00 PM. The 2025 badge is sold out.
What do Gala and Talkback mean on the schedule?
Gala screenings are the festival’s premiere events for a film. Talkback screenings are followed by a conversation with the filmmakers or cast. Both are marked on each screening above.
What is the closing film?
The winner of the Asian Next Wave competition. It screens as the closing film on Sunday, November 23 at 8:00 PM at Gateway 12. The New Horizons Best Picture screens earlier that day at 5:30 PM, same cinema.
Is Almost Famous still screening?
No. QCinema struck all three Almost Famous screenings from the published schedule. In two of those slots the schedule now lists DJ Ahmet (Nov 15, Eastwood 1) and Strange River (Nov 16, Gateway 16) instead.
