Email and consent choices
We only email you about meaningful public changes, and only the ones you switch on yourself. Ordinary record tidy-ups never trigger an email.
Programme announced
When a festival you follow publishes its programme.
Tickets on sale
When booking opens for a festival you follow.
Dates confirmed
When the dates for the next edition are confirmed.
New relevant event near you
When a new festival or filmmaker event is added in a place or theme you follow.
Each switch records the exact time you gave consent, and the exact time you withdrew it if you turn it off again. You can see both on your alerts page.
You choose what an alert applies to: an individual festival you follow, a city or region, a genre or theme, or filmmaker events and Q&As.
