Come relax with food and drink at the Filmmakers and Sponsors Lounge, sponsored by the Virginia Film Office. It is located in Escafé, one of Charlottesville’s favorite restaurants and nightlife spots. The Lounge is an exclusive refuge reserved only for the Festival’s sponsors, donors, filmmakers and guest artists. This is a great opportunity to mingle with Festival guests in between screenings, discussions and parties.
Entrance into the Lounge is reserved for Festival guests and sponsors with the appropriate Festival badge.
Escafé is located on the western end of the Downtown Mall, just opposite of the Main Street Arena and Omni Hotel.
During the Festival the Lounge will be open the following times:
Thursday: 12:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m.
Friday: 9:00 a.m. -7:00 p.m.
Saturday: 9:00 a.m. -7:00 p.m.
Sunday: 9:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.
Established in 1995 at its current location, Escafé is a longstanding supporter of the arts and is proud to host the Filmmakers Lounge again this year.
