Five Films Card
During the festival, you can purchase the Five Films Card at the Folkets Bio Umeå box office. After buying it, you can show the card at a festival box office as payment for the film you want to see. It cannot be used for online purchases—you’ll need to reserve your seat and collect the ticket in person. The card is not valid for the opening film, Dinner and a Movie, Eraserhead Xiu Xiu, or With Ackja and Reindeer in Inka Läntha’s Winter Land.
Cineville
Cineville is a subscription that gives you unlimited cinema visits for just 295 SEK/month (250 SEK if you’re under 28). Folkets Bio Umeå (who runs Umeå Filmfestival) is the newest member of Cineville, now available at 23 cinemas across Sweden. We’re giving the card a great start—it’s valid for selected screenings at the Umeå Film Festival! Learn more and get your card at cinevillebio.se.
Draken Film
Umeå Film Festival collaborates with Draken Film to offer a digital festival pass featuring selected titles from the Perspectives from the North section. A digital festival pass costs 199 SEK and gives you access to the films for two weeks, from Dec 1–14. Read more at drakenfilm.se/ueff.
Age Limit
Since many of the films shown during the festival have not gone through the official Swedish age rating process, there is a general age limit of 15 years. Exceptions apply for children’s and youth films, as well as certain titles and events.
Refunds
Purchased tickets are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged. If a screening is canceled, you will receive a replacement ticket for another screening. Refunds are not possible.

If you study film or work in the film industry, you can apply for festival accreditation. Pick up your accreditation badge at the accreditation desk at Folkets Bio Umeå (Level 4, Kulturhuset Väven). Read more.
