Cinema Café Presented by Chase Sapphire^SM

Strange things are afoot at Cinema Café. Each morning at 10:00 a.m. in the Filmmaker Lodge, Cinema Café invigorates the culture of conversation. With all your favorite stimulants on hand—coffee, treats, and delectable dialogue—our daily series of informal chats rounds up the usual suspects. Sometimes the most fascinating discussion is the one you didn’t expect. So bring your questions and an open mind. How does the song go? “Start your day at Cinema Café.”

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
