You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll definitely want to sing along as we kick off the Festival with (500) Days of Summer, the "anti-romantic" comedy that inspired Sundance 09 audiences to standing ovations. The old romantic comedy is given a fresh spin with this bubbly yet authentic, intelligently funny and visually delightful film about dating in the new millennium. Director Marc Webb and cast members will be also be on hand to help us get the Festival started. And to top it all off, the fantastic soundtrack will put you in the perfect mood to party the night away!

The laughter and music (and who knows? - maybe romance) continue after the screenings on the 19th Floor of the Park Hyatt Bellevue in the hotel’s Promenade, Rose Garden and Bar, and Cafe XIX with light bites and a limited open bar featuring sponsors’ select products (and other specialty drinks at the cash bar).This hip but historic setting is the perfect place to mix and mingle with old and new friends alike – just don’t forget your dancing shoes!
