FIFCL
for everyone
Laughter knows no boundaries. The FIFCL, without barriers: to ensure that our event is truly open to all, we improve our welcome for people with disabilities every year.
Most rooms are wheelchair-accessible and have adapted toilets. Le Chapiteau is also equipped with a customized access ramp so that you can fully enjoy the events surrounding our screenings.
Unfortunately, rooms 3 and 5 of the Palace Liège cinema are not suitable for PRMs, but rooms 1, 2 and 4 are. This situation is beyond our control. On the other hand, the Grignoux cinemas are accessible to wheelchair users.
Room accessibility :
-
- Sauvenière: Elevator access.
- Churchill & Parc: Lift available.
- Forum: A space is available for people with reduced mobility. Please let us know when purchasing tickets by calling +32.(0)4.223.18.18 (Tuesday-Friday: 10am-5pm, Saturday: 12pm-6pm).
For safety and operational reasons, the elevators at Le Parc cinema for people with reduced mobility cannot accept weights exceeding 220 kg.

Payment
Cashless
FIFCL offers you a paperless payment system: cashless. This ultra-secure means of payment is easy to use, modern and practical!
With your festival wristband, you can pay for your drinks at the bars with ease. The integrated chip allows you to make all your festival purchases(Place de la Cathédrale tent, Espace Pro Uhoda, etc.).
A FAQ is available on the right to answer any questions you may have about this payment system.
How do I get a bracelet?
The wristband will be given to you at the cashless desks located in our marquee once an initial charge (by card or cash) has been made.
How do I charge my wristband during the festival?
There are several ways to recharge your wristband or cashless card:
- Via the tent’s cashless machines (by card or in cash)
- Via automatic terminals on the marquee (by card only)
- Via Payconiq by scanning the QR Code on your bracelet with your smartphone
How do I get my money back after the festival?
It is imperative that you keep your wristband after the festival so that you can communicate your unique identification code and recover the amount remaining on your wristband.
The administrative fee for refunds is €2.00, and refunds can only be made for amounts over €5.00.
The deadline for claiming a refund will be communicated before the start of the Festival on our official website and on our various social networks.
