Such a situation should not have been possible, given the digital booking system employed by the festival. And no clear explanation or remedy was provided to the patrons, who stretched all the way back to the local casino when they learned that they would not be admitted.

Some patrons were concerned about the prospect of receiving a “strike” for missing a screening they had RSVP’d to attend, three of which result in a termination of one’s festival credential.

The festival and reps for Sony Classics and Almodóvar have not yet responded to requests for comment.
