October 3 at 9:00 am - October 4 at 9:30 am


There is no better way to start a busy day of the festival than with talented creatives on a fall morning in the Filmmakers Lounge at The Music Hall’s Members Club! Join a selection of this year’s filmmakers and special guests for intimate and casual conversations.
These morning events offer attendees a highly interactive opportunity to get to know some of our featured artists, hear the stories behind their work, ask questions, and share our love of the movies while inside The Music Hall’s recently renovated space with an art deco / speakeasy feel.
FRIDAY, OCT. 17, 9:00 A.M. – 9:30 A.M.
- Participating guests to be announced shortly
SATURDAY, OCT. 18, 9:00 A.M – 9:30 A.M.
