 The Opening Night Film Gala will be like no other at any film festival in L.A.
Following the Opening Night Film presentation at the festival's AT&T Center plush, 500-seat, state-of-the-art screening room, you'll be whisked by high-speed elevator to the center's exclusive penthouse party space for the fully-catered Opening Night Gala. Eat, drink and be merry as you gaze high atop the 35th floor with 360-degree views of Los Angeles at night in all of its illuminated magic.
Now, that's just the first day. The festival's Cinema Lounge (at the AT&T Center) rolls out a party every night, beginning Friday, August 15. The Lounge features a full-bar, complimentary beverages and a different DJ spinning each evening. 'Round midnight when the party wraps at the Cinema Lounge, the celebration continues at one of downtown's hot new lounges.
