At Denver Film the magic of storytelling meets the power of community. The heart of our mission is to create entertaining and transformative experiences through the power of diverse voices in film.

As the sole nonprofit, community-supported movie theater in Denver, our programming stands as a vibrant counterpoint to the offerings of corporate movie theaters and streaming services. Whether as part of a spotlight festival, curated film series, special retrospective, or art house title, the films shown at Denver Film will often not be available by any other platform.

Mission

Denver Film Creates entertaining and transformative experiences for the Colorado community through the power of diverse voices in film.

Background Statement

Denver Film has been transforming and entertaining the Colorado community since 1978. Forty-six years later, DF has grown into a signature cultural organization in the West, screening international and independent films found nowhere else in the region. Initially, DF answered the need for a national-caliber independent film festival in Colorado and since has grown into a vital community resource that builds resilience by amplifying diverse voices. In an era of censorship, and misinformation, Denver Film's purpose in the Colorado community is needed now more than ever.

Denver Film's robust programming includes:

• Denver Film Festival: Our flagship event features 230+ films, special events, red carpets, immersive experiences, and cinema panels.

• Film On the Rocks: Our summertime series is hosted at Red Rocks Amphitheater in partnership with Denver Arts and Venues.
