The Adam McKay 5%

Adam McKay (Don’t Look Up, The Big Short, Anchorman) is a 
recipient of the prestigious DIFF Volta Award, and a Champion 
Patron of the festival. 

Thanks to Adam’s support, DIFF is able to set aside up to 5% 
of festival tickets to be offered free or at a subsidised rate to 
students and young people for whom cost can be a barrier. The 
aim is simple: to help more people see more films, and to ensure 
the festival remains accessible to the next generation of audiences 
and filmmakers.

​

Adam McKay’s 5% directly supports this commitment, opening the 
doors of the festival to those who might otherwise miss out.

The Adam McKay 5% is aimed at individual students and young 
people accessing the festival independently. After signing up for the scheme you will be added to the 5% database - look out for emails from our Box Office team about tickets and offers across the programme.
