Fernbank Announces Viewers’ Choice Films for IMAX® Film Festival

The votes are in and the public has chosen the films for Fernbank Museum’s first-ever IMAX® Film Festival, which will be held from August 17-October 1, 2009. Viewers were given the power to choose their favorites among 13 potential films, and their six most-wanted titles will be featured. Fernbank will change the line-up every two weeks during the IMAX® Film Festival, giving IMAX® fans the opportunity to see six different films in 12 weeks.

Fernbank has also announced the special Festival Flex Pass, which includes six tickets that can be used in any combination during the festival, including for Martinis & IMAX® shows. Filmgoers can use the six passes for one movie, use on for each movie, or mix and match with friends and family. All tickets must be used by October 1, 2009. The Flex Pass provides great savings for those wanting to see their favorite films. At $60 for non-members, the Festival Flex Pass offers an $18 savings—or 23%—over individual ticket purchases. Museum members pay only $45 for a Festival Flex Pass.
