The Lynch double bill is still rattling around in my head and I've got two hours to kill before the next screening. Sun, coffee, and a whole table to myself — come fix that?

There's a Hollywood action director giving a masterclass at the festival and I'm going to sit in that room taking notes like it's film school. What should I ask him?
When the cinema is a lava tunnel, the dress code is thermals and wool socks — Indiana Jones underground might be the best thing on the whole program. Want to share my blanket in the dark?
Two sold-out rooms and the whole cinema holding its breath at the same moment — that film earned every second of it. Got home wired instead of tired and the dress never made it past the bed. Talk me into sleeping?
The dress won and the heels are on — opening night is finally here and the first film is climbers on K2. Come hold my hand during the vertigo parts?
Opening night is tomorrow and I've been packed since breakfast — the pass is sitting on the table next to a coffee I keep forgetting to drink. First film is about Icelandic climbers on K2, so it's going to be ice and vertigo in a dark cinema. Save me the seat beside you?
Festival pass picked up and opening night is only two days out, so I'm doing the serious work of trying on everything I own. This dress keeps sliding off my shoulder and I'm starting to think it's on purpose. Which one gets your vote for the dark of the cinema?
The kettle's taking forever and this sweater is the only thing I grabbed. Worth getting out of bed for?
RIFF opens in a few days and I've already circled three screenings — the one inside the lava tunnel especially. Too early to be this awake but I couldn't stop reading the program. Tell me you'd sit through all of them with me.
The thermal pool's nearly empty and the steam is doing things to my skin that I don't want to explain. Want to slip in before they lock the gates?
