RESTAURANT GUIDE

NAVIGATING T/F

WALKING Hoofing it the old-fashioned way is definitely doable and recommended, as the most far-flung venues in the T/F footprint— Rhynsburger to the south and the Showtime Theater @ The Blue Note to the north—are roughly half a mile apart, or about a 10-minute walk. For a breakdown of all venue walking times, reference the schedule grid insert. BIKING Pedal power will get you around the festival quickly and easily while avoiding parking headaches and keeping the air cleaner. There are lots of places to park your bike; look for the bike corrals at some of the busier downtown intersections. Need a bike? Rent one at Walt’s Bike Shop (573.886.9258). Walt’s Bike Shop will offer a free Bike Inspection & Tuneup station at S. Ninth Street and Cherry, 10am-6pm, Fri-Sat. TAXI Hail a taxi from any of the taxi stands located throughout downtown. The locations are marked on the map on the inside back cover. Call ahead to Taxi Terry’s (573.441.1414) or 5 Star Taxi (573.449.7827). PARKING There are several parking garages within walking distance of True/False venues as well as ample on-street, metered parking throughout downtown (most meters have a two hour limit). Meters are free before 9am, after 7pm, and all day on Sunday. Parking in city-owned downtown garages is free after 6pm on weekdays and all day Saturday and Sunday. The Tenth & Cherry Garage is restricted to permit only parking on the second and third levels; the restriction is only in place Thur-Fri of the Fest. Hourly parking at the Short Street Garage is available for metered parking. Spaces marked as “Reserved” are designated as such 24/7 and should not be used. Meters with cloth bag covers in the downtown area are often for T/F staff loading and unloading; please refrain from parking in those spots, even on the weekend.

ACCESSIBILITY

We endeavor to ensure that the Fest is accessible to all, so along with the above advice and services we also work with the City and our venues to provide the following accommodations.

ACCESSIBLE PARKING The City of Columbia will waive the hourly limit for accessible metered parking during the festival to accommodate those who want to grab a bite and catch a show (note that ADA hangtags will continue to be enforced and normal parking meter fees apply).

VENUE ACCESSIBILITY All film and public special event venues have wheelchair accessible entries, exits, restrooms, and access to Fest-provided drinking water stations. Festival staff are happy to provide needed assistance, and venue management (Venue Captains and Assistant Venue Captains) are specifically trained to provide exceptional assistance for persons with disabilities. For assistance, please check in with venue staff when you arrive at the venue. Persons with disabilities may arrive at a venue and/or enter a venue early if needed, either to be seated (if you have a ticket) or to wait in a seat in the lobby if you are using the Q.

WHEELCHAIR SEATING All venues have wheelchair seating available. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Check in with the Venue Captain when you arrive at the venue. Limited accessible seating is available at Missouri Theatre, Rhynsburger Theatre, and Ragtag Cinema, while all other venues have more movable seating options. Companion seating is available at all theaters; all companions must have a ticket or use the Q. Please reach out if you have questions about companion seating at specific theaters.

ASL INTERPRETATION We offer sign language interpretation at select festival Q&As and events; those screenings and events are designated as such on the schedule, both in our program book and online. For screenings and events with ASL, three to five seats are reserved specifically for the deaf community with a reserved ticket or via the Q. See a venue staff member or Queen for assistance.

ASSISTED LISTENING DEVICES + AUDIO DESCRIPTION All

film venues provide a limited number of assistive listening devices for audio amplification and audio description. To access listening devices, check in with venue staff when you arrive. Films with an available audio description are listed on pg. 141. Devices are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

CLOSED CAPTIONING + SUBTITLES All venues offer CaptiView, a personal closed-captioning device. Personal closed-captioning devices are equipped with high-contrast displays and easy-to-read screens that attach to your seat. Films with available closed captioning are listed on pg. 141. Devices are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Because of the large number of foreign-language films that we program each year, nearly half of the festival films are subtitled. Please note that these films are subtitled, not close-captioned. These are also designated as such on the schedule, both in our program book and online. Noted by .
