Telluride Tips and Tricks

Four years ago, as I was getting ready for my first TbtS, Chris Curtis, one of our film curators (and my inside source as to what movies I need to see throughout the year), told me to see the most obscure sounding movie. While I was suspect about this plan, I figured “What have I got to lose” and let me tell you, I’ve seen some amazing movies. This year, you’ll want to see The Other Side of Hope.

If you have any questions, The Music Hall staff will all be wearing grey shirts with STAFF written on the back. We’ll be floating around, feel free to grab one of us.

For those of you who are Patron Pass holders, there are a few things to keep in mind as you plan out your schedule this year:

  • The Founders Lobby will be opening at 6pm for Patron Passholder and we’ll be letting you all up into the theater to pick your seats at 6:30pm.
  • As Paton Passholders, you get to take advantage of our Seat Savers. Thanks to all of the great feedback we’ve received, we’ve made a few changes to how the Seat Savers work. This year, you get the opportunity to pick a new seat each day as we do remove the savers at the end of each night. Also, to ensure that everyone get’s to see each movie, you can only save your seat for back to back movies.
  • This year, our Patron Passholder party is taking place over at the Loft. Stop by after Downsizing and mingle with other passholders and Music Hall staff and enjoy fabulous food provided by Row 34.
  • Also, because of the movie schedule, the brunch at the District Restaurant will be from 9am-10m.

All of our passholders, get to join us for the Loft movie series, Spotlight on Paul Schrader. Please remember, seating is limited so you will want to arrive early.

For all of you attending The Shape of Water on Saturday night, we invite you to join us on stage after the film for our Festival Party, with food provided by the Portsmouth Brewery .

As always, you never know what Mother Nature has in store for us, so I always recommend having back up rain gear.

They also asked me to remind everyone to wear comfortable shoes as there is some waiting in line.

It’s going to be a great weekend and I can’t wait to see all of you!
