Theatrical Safety
We are committed to providing the safest theatrical experience possible for our audience that attend the festival in person. Our home theater, Screenland, has helped pave the way through Art House Convergence, NATO, and other exhibitor platforms helping determine and implement the best and safest way
to exhibit films.
- UV-C Lighting: All air ducts are fitted with UV-C lighting which has been shown to kill bacteria and viruses such as COVID that transmit through air ducts in addition to high-density filtration.
- Disinfectant Fog: Between all shows all surfaces are treated with a disinfectant fogging solution that is approved by the EPA.
- Masks are optional, but encouraged by patrons unless they are seated and eating and drinks.
