The meeting is open to directors and volunteer leaders of Colorado’s film festivals.

We also want to hear from you about what we can do to assist you in better promoting Colorado’s festivals and helping to expand attendance at your festivals.
After the meeting the Denver Film Society will host a screening for all participants at the Starz Film Center featuring a “DocNight” presentation of “They Came to Play” featuring Director Alex Rotaru in-person!
They Came to Play celebrates the joy of classical music with humor and drama. Several talented amateur pianists strive to balance their work, home and musical lives, as they prepare to compete in the International Amateur Piano Competition for Outstanding Amateurs, hosted by the Van Cliburn Foundation in Fort Worth, Texas. Before a distinguished jury and a discerning audience, these inspiring individuals endeavor to perform at near-professional levels in three highly competitive elimination rounds. Following the screening there will be a Q&A followed by a reception in Gallery 30 at the Starz Film Center in partnership with the Documentary Cinema Institute
We have made arrangements with the Westin Hotel in the Tabor Center (just off the 16th Street Mall) for discounted room rates. We will be sending you a link to the special room block that we have set up in the near future.
