The 9th Annual Santa Fe Film Festival invites you to celebrate the universal languages of film and music. Our nightly parties return at dusk with Heineken Happy Hours featuring beloved local DJs at the Hotel Santa Fe. Throughout this year’s festival, Santa Fe’s finest venues and our proud sponsors will deliver memorable nights featuring an array of musical performances.

Our Railyard District has been hugely revamped since last year and promises to be a thrilling backdrop for the festival events.

The Tamalewood Lounge will be open each day from 9 AM – 10 PM with beverages provided by Glaceau, Red Bull and On Go Energy Shot. Crunchy snacks will be provided by Chuck’s Nuts and coffee and sandwiches offered by Agapao Coffee & Tea. Warehouse 21 and The MacSavage will provide broadband and wireless Internet access for visitors to the lounge, which is open to all badge holders including filmmakers, media and sponsors.
