Denver Film Society

Great film offerings — much more interesting than anything we can find in the Boulder area. The film-​makers are at some of the showings.

What a great little find.
Very clean, comfortable, and full of interesting films.
This place is a must try!

The Denver Film Festival is the best time of the year. No doubt.

This is the international cinephile’s nestled gem in Denver. If you’re feeling an imminent threat of attack by a flock of «Twilight» fanatics like I am, seek refuge at Denver Film.
I saw the opening of Persepolis here. I haven’t enjoyed a movie like I did that one, in a long time. And I’ve seen my fair share since that release, too.
It’s also got a great staff. and that’s saying a lot, considering how terrible-​twos grumpy I can get if things don’t go my way (I blame it on the Leo persona). When I was snowed in last week and couldn’t make a showing, the Director of Operations kindly credited me with tickets to another movie.
Denver Film is extremely reasonably priced (considering you get access to the best of international movies) and centrally located (with off-​street parking available).
It should be a must for any visitor to Denver, and a permanent hang-​out for the rest of us Denverites.

Too few people are members of the Denver Film Society. It’s a great Denver cultural organization. It’s not funded by the City, nor is it a member of the Scientific & Cultural Facilities District, so they only get their money through the painful process of non-​profit fundraising.
But wait! You and you alone can change this. You can join. And should. Membership is cheap and benefits are huuuuge.
Once, while talking to a board member of the organization, I asked how many members they had. I had guessed it was in the tens of thousands. Turned out it was in the hundreds.
Whoa. What’s with that?
Given the great work they do with the Denver Film Festival, Film On The Rocks, and doing the programming for the Starz Theater at the Tivoli, these folks need all the support they can get.
They’ve had their political /​administrative challenges. That’s for sure (
), but they’re great folks, working hard to bring the best of independent films to Denver. Let’s see how we can drag them outta the doldrums. Go Unilocalers. Go.
