Times vary.

AppleBox Films: Even the popcorn and soda are free at these 10 a.m. Arlington Theatre (1317 State St.) screenings, but arrive very early because they fill up fast: Zootopia (Sat., Feb. 4), Moana (Sun., Feb. 5), and Finding Dory (Sat., Feb. 11).

3rd Weekend: See the fest’s best films for free at the Fiesta 5 Theatre (916 State St.), Friday-Sunday, February 17-19. Films and screening times will be posted Monday, February 13, on sbiff.org.

Discounts!

MiniPaks: Only want to see a few films? Consider a four- or 10-ticket MiniPak ($60-$140). But be advised that pass holders get in first, and even early-arrival ticket holders are often left outside.

State Street Pass: Compared to the $1,700 Platinum Pass, this $350 version just for films (including opening and closing night) is a steal, the only hitch being you can’t see any of the prime-time screenings between 4 and 8 p.m. each day.

Editor’s Note: The 3rd Weekend theater location has been changed to the Fiesta 5 from the Riviera.
