The 38th Denver Film Festival begins Wednesday, November 4th through Sunday, November 15th 2015!
The Denver Film Festival (DFF) is is the largest premier film celebration in the Rocky Mountain Region and attracts nearly 58,000 filmgoers every year. This year’s program boasts more than 250 films, representing 39 countries.
The festival opens with Anomalisa, Charlie Kaufman’s (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) first stop-motion film. Michael Moore’s latest documentary, Where to Invade Next, will hold Centerpiece on November 6th. Carol, starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara, will be featured as the Red Carpet Matinee. James Sadwith’s first feature, Coming Through the Rye will close out the festival.
“This year’s Red Carpet Presentations represent four unique voices in cinema,” said Festival Director Britta Erickson. “From the ingenious mind of Charlie Kaufman, to the ever challenging viewpoint of Michael Moore; from the stunning Oscar-worthy performances in Carol, to the cinematic ode to The Catcher in the Rye, the Denver Film Festival’s Red Carpet premieres offer a chance for audiences to truly be swept away by the magic of film.”
DFF Special Presentations include: The Boat Builder, Brooklyn, Hitchcock/Truffaut, I Saw the Light, The Lady in the Van, Mediterranea, Mia Madre, My All American, Son of Saul, Suffragette, and Youth (from 2013 Maria & Tommaso Maglione Italian Filmmaker Award and Academy Award® Winner, Paolo Sorrentino).
