The box office is open! 

Get your REGARD passport to attend one of North America's most important short film festivals,
held March 18-22, 2026, in Saguenay.

New: solidarity pricing
Any reason is a good reason to bring people and culture together! With accessibility and transparency in mind, REGARD has opted for a new solidarity-based pricing model founded on trust and individual responsibility, allowing each person to choose the best price according to their financial situation. 

How does it work?
Two new rates: welcoming & committed.
The welcoming rate is set at a reduced price, so that the Festival remains accessible to all.
The commited rate is set at a higher price, to allow others to benefit from a lower rate and to support the Festival in its mission of inclusion.

Whether you choose the regular, welcoming, or committed rate, you will enjoy the same access to the Festival. Thank you for choosing the option that best reflects your reality—and thank you to those who can afford the committed rate: your generosity greatly helps us make culture more accessible to everyone!

→ Is it possible to purchase tickets at the entrance to the various theaters for single and/or double screenings before the showings?
Yes, tickets will be available at the entrance to all our theaters before the screenings. Please note that ticket sales on site may be limited depending on attendance, so it is best to arrive at least 30 minutes in advance to ensure you get a seat.

→ Are there reduced prices for students and seniors?
Due to the implementation of a new solidarity pricing system, we invite anyone whose financial situation would otherwise prevent them from enjoying culture to refer to the welcoming rate, including students and seniors.

→ Are accessibility measures in place for people with reduced mobility or disabilities?
REGARD is a partner organization of the Companion Leisure Card (CAL) in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region. With the CAL, as a person with reduced mobility, you do not have to pay for your companion's admission. However, you must pay for your own admission.

In terms of accessibility, most of our rooms are adapted, but we suggest you contact us by phone at 418-698-5854 or by email at [email protected] to make sure.

→ What is the procedure for obtaining my tickets or passes if I am a person with reduced mobility?

For CAL cardholders, simply call Diffusion Saguenay at 418-698-4080 and press 1 for the box office.

You will be asked to present your CAL at the event.
