Central Michigan International Film Festival

Central Michigan International Film Festival, April 2003

Ticket prices are quite low. Advance tickets that will get the ticket holder admission to any film on a first come, first seated basis until capacity is reached. Tickets will be sold in the weeks preceding the festival for just $2.00 each and tickets while the festival is in progress will be only $3.00 each.
