Starz FilmCenter Denver
Starz FilmCenter is home to theatres and is the cinematic
education center of Denver Film Society and University of
Colorado Denver's College of Arts & Media with support
from Starz Encore Group. Since its launch in April 2002,
Starz FilmCenter has become Denver's first and only true
cinematheque, committed to presenting the best in film art
- with an eye toward titles not readily available on the
big screen. Every day, Denver Film Society programs Starz
FilmCenter's six screens with lively, challenging, informing
and entertaining films - including exclusive first-run theatrical
engagements, the best of current art-house cinema, local
and international film festivals, weekly and monthly cinematheque
series, revivals and retrospectives, sneak previews and meet-the-filmmaker
events, and educational and outreach programs.
- Starz FilmCenter screens 600 to 700 film titles per year - far more than any other Colorado theatre
- More than 200,000 Denver Film Society members and guests attend Starz FilmCenter each year
- More than 5,000 area middle-school and high-school students have participated in education programs led by Starz FilmCenter Director of Education Howie Movshovitz
“With the help of the Denver Film Society and UC Denver, the Starz FilmCenter will create a global recognition of Denver as a vital center for film education, and also create a greater appreciation for the art of motion pictures,” said Sie. “...the Starz FilmCenter will further the goal of the Anna and John J. Sie Foundation to create new educational opportunities that will ultimately lead to better film and television for all people.”
