KIFF announce online booking of tickets will not be required to watch movies from January 11-15

In a reversal of the decision, organisers of the 26th Kolkata International Film Festival (KIFF) on Saturday announced that online booking of tickets will not be required to watch movies from January 11-15.

Those possessing delegate, guest or press cards will be able to watch movies at the festival from January 11 onwards, the KIFF



committee said in a notification.

Earlier, delegate cardholders were able to watch only movies for which they had booked slots but under the new rule, they will be able to watch any film.

The KIFF organisers had earlier made the online ticketing system mandatory to watch movies on all eight days of the festival that began on Friday.
