You know that point in your TCFF day when you officially cross the line into Crazyville? Dashing from screening to screening, forgetting your sunglasses at a venue and having to race back, running down Front Street as you scarf down a hot dog, mustard dripping off your chin, in the desperate hope you'll beat the line for the next screening at the State?

The film festival has the ability to make us all a little loopy. That's why we introduced, for your sanity and marriage-preserving pleasure, the relaxing oasis of the TCFF Film Lounge. Hosted at three locations downtown (Lay Park on Union Street, American Legion Park on Cass Street and the TCFF Box Office/Store/Cybercafe in Radio Centre Hall on Front Street), the TCFF Lounge provides a mental and physical escape from the frantic hubbub of the festival crowd.

Imagine, if you will, enjoying your sandwich on the beautiful green grass near the lazy Boardman River. Or meeting interesting and witty fellow filmgoers and chatting about the movies you've seen under a tent beneath the blue sky. Or, for the more technology-inclined, checking your email as you enjoy a delicious scone and freshly brewed cup of coffee. All this and more can be yours at the TCFF Film Lounge. Plus - you can take in free musical performances daily at the Lay Park lounge.

Check out the band schedule below, and join us daily from 1:30-6:00 p.m. (9:00 p.m. at the Box Office location). Your mental wellbeing - and spouse - will thank you.
