On the programme page, you can explore the full lineup, filter by date, venue, and theme – and mark your favourite films to create your own festival schedule.

Be on time!

Most screenings during the festival will be introduced, but please note that screenings will start exactly at the stated time, as there are no traditional cinema ads beforehand.

Create your own festival program

You can mark any film on the website using the heart symbol and build your own programme, which you’ll find under «My Films». This way, you can plan your festival experience to catch all the films you want to see.

How to Buy Tickets

For events and screenings outside of cinemas, follow the ticket links provided on the individual event pages on our website.

Refunds and Exchanges

To exchange or refund tickets, you must contact the cinema where the ticket was purchased. Purchased tickets are non-refundable, but can be exchanged for another screening if done before the original screening starts. This must be done physically at the cinema.

See the refund and exchange policies on the websites of Vega Scene and Nordisk Film Kino for more details.

Festival passes and punch cards are non-refundable.

If You Have a Festival Pass

If you’re not going to use a ticket booked with your festival pass, please cancel it. This allows someone else to take your seat. Many screenings sell out, and we want to avoid empty seats at sold-out shows.

Seating

All screenings at this year’s festival are unassigned seating. You can sit wherever you like. This makes it easier to attend screenings with friends without needing to buy tickets together.

Age Limits

All films at the Oslo Pix Film Festival have age limits, listed on each film’s programme page. Parents may bring children up to three years younger than the age limit – except for 18+, which is strictly enforced.
For more information, see Medietilsynet.

Festival Pass

Watch as many films as you'd like during this year's festival! The festival pass covers all regular screenings at cinemas and offers special prices for certain screenings and events at venues other than cinemas. The festival pass is personal.

There are three types of festival passes: regular festival pass, student pass and industry pass.

Prices:

• Regular festival pass: 1295 NOK – BUY THE FESTIVAL PASS HERE
• Student Pass: 825 NOK – BUY THE STUDENT PASS HERE – Random controls will be done for student pass holders upon entry screenings, so remember to bring a valid student ID.
• Industry Pass: 825 NOK – APPLY FOR INDUSTRY PASS HERE

There is a limited number of festival passes available, and they can sell out. 

Below, you will find instructions on how to use your pass. The same instructions count for all three passes. 

How the Festival Pass Works

The festival pass is digital and will be sent out by email. 

After purchase, you will automatically receive a card number and a PIN code for use at Vega Scene's website. The code for Nordisk Film Kino's website, and information on how to use the pass at Cinemateket i Oslos website, will be sent out by e-mail within 24 hours. 

If you want to get tickets in person, you must do so at the cinema where the screening you want to see takes place. For example, tickets for screenings at Vega Scene can only be picked up at the ticket kiosk there. The same goes for the other cinemas. To pick up at the ticket kiosk, you need your festival pass. 

Several screenings may be sold out. Therefore, we recommend you get your tickets early, even though you have a festival pass. 

All festival passes are personal, and you can only take out one ticket per screening.

Festival Pass at Cinemateket

To use your festival pass on Cinemateket's website, you have to send your phone number to the following e-mail address: [email protected].

Activation of the festival pass may take up to 48 hours after you send in your phone number on weekdays, and up to 72 hours on weekends. 

Please be aware that your phone number and email address will be shared with Cinemateket to activate the pass. 

If you registered your phone number last year, you do not need to do it again this year.
