Let’s Talk Films! Starz Denver Film Festival Memories
The Starz Denver Film Festival has been an integral part of the Colorado arts community for 30 years. The support of the public has always been the driving force behind the festival, and this year was no exception.
Including the 125 sold-out screenings over the course of the 11-day festival, over 45,000 people attended this year’s films and events – a record number.
As they were exiting the theaters, we grabbed a few of these film fans from the crowd and asked them to tell us about their favorite movies, their most memorable Starz Denver Film Festival moments, and the things they love about Colorado.
This is the first of three videos that will be released this week.

A Look Back at 30 Years in Photos
Few, if any, film festivals with any longevity can claim that a single photographer has chronicled the entire history of events that have happened outside the theaters of their festivals. The official photographer of the Starz Denver Film Festival, Larry Laszlo, has held that position since 1978, the festival’s inaugural year.
In celebration of the 30th anniversary of that event, the Denver Film Society has released Take30: The First Three Decades of the Denver International Film Festival, a 192-page retrospective. In the video below, you’ll get a glimpse at some of our favorite photos from the book.
