Most feature films are accompanied by one
or more shorts for a total screening time of no more
than 60-90 minutes (an average feature length film).
In addition, some screenings are grouped as a
series of shorts to comprise 30 to 60 minutes
of total screening time. In this case, these
group of shorts will not be combined with
a feature film. Rather, they are simply
screened as a series of shorts. So, no
matter how many shorts are combined
or screened with the feature films of your
choice, you'll still only pay a single $10 ticket price.
