Frequently Asked Questions
💬 Where and when can I buy a Festival Pass?

Tickets can be purchased online before or during the festival. For the best value, we suggest purchasing your festival pass as an early bird (until 09.01). We recommend getting your tickets early, as they may sell out during the festival and the number of available seats may be limited. You can purchase your festival pass here: https://blon.lt/pass.

💬 What is the recommended age for attending the BLON Festival?

BLON Animation and Games Festival has a programme that caters to different age groups. The children's programme can be found at https://blon.lt/en/junior. For adults and young people, we recommend the educational activities, which have more information available at https://blon.lt/en/talks. Additionally, the festival feature films are suitable for both children and adults, and you can find a detailed list of films at https://blon.lt/en/features.

💬 What does a "Relaxed screening" mean?

A "relaxed screening" is a screening put on for people who are more sensitive to sound, light or a crowded room — autistic people, people with ADHD, and others who are neurodivergent. It is there so that everyone can enjoy a film in comfort, even when an ordinary screening would feel tense or uncomfortable. How is it different from an ordinary screening?

  • The sound is softer.
  • The lights in the auditorium are not switched off completely.
  • You are free to move about, to talk, and to step out and come back.
  • The atmosphere is welcoming, and everyone is invited to get comfortable and enjoy the film in their own way.
💬 When and where is the festival taking place?

BLON Animation & Games Festival takes place in Klaipėda, Lithuania, from 10-13 September 2026. The festival's entertainment and educational activities take place in different locations around the city. See the map of locations here: https://blon.lt/map.

💬 Can I buy a ticket for just one film or do I have to buy a Festival Pass?

Yes, you can buy a ticket for each individual film or VR screening. If you are interested in a specific film, there is a "Select a screening" button next to each film.
