You can redeem A-card points at the box office.

As a member of Gezinsbond you receive a €2 discount:

• Openingsfilm
• Film screenings (excl. Kinepolis)
• XL-medialab

Most festival venues have discounted rates starting from €2 for a film or a visit to the XL Medialab.

You can purchase these tickets for the festival in Antwerp online. You will receive a ticket without a barcode. On the day itself, you must present your ticket together with valid proof (your A-card) at the box office. This allows us to register your rate and give you a ticket with a barcode in exchange.

You can also reserve these tickets at the box office, or reserve them by email or telephone. Email festival@jeugdfilm.be, stating your A-card number and date of birth.

Interested in visiting as a group? You can find more information on this page.

A baby under 1,5 years old will always be admitted free of charge.

For children over 1,5 years, you pay the normal ticket price or the discounted rate if you qualify.

Want to be sure of your spot or are you coming with a group? Then book your tickets online. Tickets are no longer available at the box office for sold-out screenings.

In Antwerp, you can profitably combine a film screening with a visit to the XL Medialab. You can watch a film and visit the medialab for €13 instead of €15

At the top of the film pages, you will find the 'buy your combi ticket' button. You will then be redirected to the ticketing system to buy a combo ticket.

The festival venues are not all managed by the Youth Film Festival Antwerp itself, but rather by our local partners.

For those local collaborations, we maintain our partners' prices.
