Testimonials
"It really puts Denver at a very high level. It puts us on the map and it's a very highly recommended film festival, one of the best in the world."
- John Hickenlooper
Governor of Colorado
"I’ve attended the Denver Film Festival every year since 1989 and always appreciate the selections. But seeing The Grab tonight will go down as one of the highlight film experiences I’ve had the pleasure of attending! This one film is worth my membership ship for the year.”
-A Grateful and Loyal Member
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-five 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, book burning, and misinformation, Denver Films' purpose in the Colorado community is needed now more than ever.
