3 Moves to Conquer the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF)

You could just show up to MIFF, have fun and then leave. Or, you could easily plan the most mind-blowing film festival - tell-your-grandchildren-yes-it's-true changed-my-life apex-of-reasoning triumph-of-logic conquest-of-man mind shattering - 18 days of pure experience – in just three easy steps.

1. Book a Festival Passport or an eMini Pass.

The festival passport will provide you with admission to all of the MIFF sessions excluding opening and closing nights. Available only to MIFF members, the passport comes with a number of perks, from priority queuing (read barely any queuing at all) to discount prices at the festival lounge. The MIFF membership itself will see you awash in free sneak-preview screenings and advance information on film events throughout the year; it's practically insider-information for film.



Although the eMini pass could be considered, by the ill informed, the sickly cousin of the festival passport, do not doubt its power.
The pass allows you entry to ten MIFF sessions - and as a bonus, an additional three weekday sessions before 5pm. 13 films in 18 days is no laughing matter.
**2. Plan ahead, read the program and book tickets early.

Flip through the MIFF program on any day of the festival and you are going to read about an amazing movie you've never heard of and just have to see. There is only one problem, weeks before a more organised version of yourself has had this exact feeling, made a booking, told all their friends and now there are no tickets left.

So, plan ahead and read the program as soon as possible, make some bookings for the movies you really want to see. Believe me a lot of the sessions will sell out fast. But, even if you do miss out on your screening of choice do not despair. The festival is so well put together that it's almost impossible to pick a bad movie.

3. Share your viewing timetable with your friends on Facebook.

Once you've picked your films for the festival, secured your tickets and shuffled all other non-MIFF activities out of the way, the next step is to share your itinerary. By making an open activity with your friends on Facebook it will allow you to easily navigate the pitfalls involved in the organizing of people. It will also aid your cause to divide and conquer this great festival. One friend can grab drinks, your friends-girlfriend can wait in line, your brother can make home-made-popcorn, and your girlfriend can hide it in her handbag. They say that shared joy is double-joy, well, with an army of Facebook organised friends your MIFF joy will no doubt be multiplied, along with the all important post film discussions- "…he was the robot!?!"

So follow these instruction, or not, and be sure to head along to MIFF 2012. Remember to keep your phones off, your feet down and your choc-top consumption up - Your going to need your strength.

Enjoy!
