Filmmakers & Sponsors Lounge

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 at 215 West Water Street, just off the Downtown Mall and right behind Regal Cinemas.

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.
