Just a short walk from the Ritz East & Ritz Five theaters, the Festival Lounge is a space exclusive to PFF26 ticket holders, badge holders, and Festival guests, who are invited to stop by for a little “R&R” between screenings and enjoy special events — and possibly an encounter with a visiting PFF filmmaker! The Lounge offers lite bites and special perks for badge holders.
