The mission of the Denver Film Society is to develop opportunities for diverse audiences to discover film through creative, thought-provoking experiences. We strive to cultivate and celebrate film as an art form; to enrich and expand the film-going experience for regional audiences; to provide a showcase for international cinema that would not otherwise be seen in Denver; to provide a platform for Colorado and U.S. independent filmmakers; to promote dialogue about film artists and the public; and to provide unique programming for special audiences. The Denver Film Society offers year-round cinematic programming, special events, mini festivals and education programs to its members and the general public, serving more than 200,000 film lovers annually.
