Holy redtape, Batman!

IFFI is screening amazeballs movies in Panjim. But you can't just pay and attend. Or waltz in for free. Or grab a pass at a coffee shop. None of those old fashioned ways of attending an event.

Nooooo. You register online. Send a Statement of Purpose on how you are a cinephile who should be allowed to attend. Then you wait for your application to be approved. Thennnnn you pay money and buy tickets and attend.

Does anyone know a way around this gross bureaucratic overreach? They can't just screen 2001 A Space Odyssey in my backyard and not let me attend!!!

"HAL, I won't argue with you any more! Open the doors!"
"Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose any more. Goodbye."
"Open the pod bay doors, HAL."

(It's fine if you don't get the cultural references. Not everyone is fascinated with murderous sentient mainframes.)
