Denver Film
The 31st Starz Film Festival Denver 2008 is approaching – this year’s will be November 13 – 23, 2008. However, right now is the time to consider submitting your own film. You can enter under:
- Shorts (Film)
- Contemporary World Cinema (Film)
- Documentary (Film)
- First Look Student Film Section (Film)
Not a film maker but just love film? Check out the Starz Theater’s Movies that Missed Us, every Wednesday in June. The artistic director of the film festival has chosen four films that have never aired in Denver – check them out.
Wondering about the Starz Film Festival or the DFS? The DFS has been around since 1978, and the Starz Center since 2002. More here: About Denver Film Society.
And – on the topic of film in Denver – there are several independent theaters of note to check out if you are into anything outside of the popular box office norm (also note, at many of theaters, you can drink beer and wine in theater – something I consider an added bonus.):
- Chez Artiste, 2800 South Colorado Boulevard at Amherst
- Esquire, 590 Downing Street
- Mayan, 110 Broadway, Between First and Second Avenues (My personal favorite!)
- Greenwood Village, 5415 Landmark Place, Greenwood Village
Other:
- Neighborhood Flix, 2510 East Colfax Avenue
- Denver Public Library – yes they do show films – 10 W 14th Avenue Parkway – Also sponsoring a filmmaker competition right now.
- Denver IMAX, 2001 Colorado Blvd. – Starting June 13, check out special showings of contemporary and classic films in celebration of 25 years of Denver IMAX films. Runs through September 25th.
