Tickets for “On the Body and Soul” and “Survival Family,” the festival’s opening and closing films, respectively, sold out Tuesday, while tickets for 80 films sold out Wednesday, a representative from JIFF said. Last year saw tickets for 41 films sell out.
“We believe the (boost) is due to larger numbers of films being screened and the fact there are public holidays during the period of the event,” JIFF said.
The film fest is set to take place from April 27-May 6. Buddha’s birthday is on May 3, while Children’s Day falls on May 5.

“T2: Trainspotting,” the sequel to the 1997 film about four troubled drug addicts, has also been garnering much attention.
