The striking new Topfer Theatre is the latest addition to the 78 year old ZACH. The 420-seat venue will host Midnighter Premieres, Red Carpets and more, and is a great place to grab a bite to eat or a drink.

Handily located on the Film Fest Shuttle route, it's also a brief walk from the Violet Crown, Rollins and Long Center convergence events. Or why not make like a local and take a short scenic stroll along Lady Bird Lake trail from downtown?
