About this event
Austin Film Festival brings screenings and a writers conference to the city. The main 2026 announcement gives October 29–November 5, while attendance depends on the chosen screening, pass or badge.
The organizer’s FAQ contains a conflicting October 30 start date. This listing uses the main festival announcement and highlights that discrepancy instead of inventing a universal opening time. Check the dated program for your first session and the access included with your credential; conference and film-only options are not interchangeable.
Organizer: Austin Film Festival
Registration & participation: Source discrepancy: FAQ says October 30, while main announcement and at-a-glance page say October 29. Verify the first booked session.
