Playback: Festival Launch

While the cinema portion of the evening is sold out, you can still come and enjoy the exhibition and drinks reception - no ticket required. You are also encouraged to try the returns queue at the ICA Box Office on the day of the event, as we release uncollected guest tickets for the cinema just after the start of the event

We celebrate the opening of the festival with a one-off selection of screenings and live performances, followed by drinks, DJs and the opportunity to meet Playback filmmakers in the ICA Bar.
