Tickets go on sale Feb 8 2026.

All tickets can be purchased on Humanitix.

If tickets are still available, you may purchase tickets on the door - however these sell fast and our capacity is limited! We strongly recommend buying in advance.

The screenings are all general admission and you cannot choose your seats in advance. However, if you have any special requirements, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.

Tickets to all MNFF screening sessions and events are sold separately. Please purchase tickets for each MNFF session you wish to attend.

We open the doors for each screening session 30 minutes prior to the actual screening time.

For example: If the doors open at 6pm, the screening time will begin at 6.30pm.

This allows time for networking, grabbing a drink, or getting a photo snapped on our media wall.

All selected short films are in competition for the Audience Choice Award and Best Short Film.

Prizes are provided by our sponsors, Glow Studios and Eclipse Cinema, and the winners also receive an MNFF award trophy.

To attend the closing night awards ceremony, you must purchase a ticket to the final screening event on March 1st. The awards ceremony will take place immediately post-screening.

If you are a filmmaker who has been nominated for an award, you will be contacted and invited by the MNFF team.

All audience members have the opportunity to vote for their favourite film using the QR code provided on the screen at each session. The film with the most votes will be added into the running for the Audience Choice Award.

Films may feature horror, gore, sex, nudity, violence, strong language and other video nasties not suitable for children. All MNFF screenings are recommended 18+ events and viewer discretion is advised.
