What we’re about
Welcome, Denver Cinephiles!
Denver Cinema Club is a social group for people who love independent, foreign, and classic films. We see two or three films a week, usually at the "artsy" theaters in central Denver: the Mayan, Chez Artiste, Esquire, and Sie FilmCenter. After watching a film, we usually go to a nearby restaurant to have a drink, chat about the movie, and socialize. It's a diverse, friendly group, and everyone is welcome.
In addition to our regular outings, we also attend special events: film festivals, trivia contests, Oscar parties, free screenings, etc. Watch your Meetup calendar for these, too.
We encourage group participation: we invite members to organize events of their own, and we have a Facebook page for any film-related topics you care to bring up.
Sound fun? See these pages for more details:

We hope to see you soon!

See all- VardaVision #7: The Gleaners and I at the SieSie FilmCenter, Denver, CO
The Sie FilmCenter has a very exciting program beginning in March, and we hope you'll join us to bask in this stimulating exploration of the films of the great Agnès Varda, one of the most influential filmmakers of the 20th century and a giant of the French New Wave.
The Sie has programmed eight essential and representative films this spring, all to be introduced by Film and Media Lecturer Howie Movshovitz. The seventh screening will be The Gleaners and I, my favorite Varda film. Read a great piece on The Gleaners and I and other films by Varda.
I will be at a table in the theater lounge at 6:15 with a Denver Cinema Club sign. The film program (and introduction by Movshovitz) starts at 6:30. After the film, we will gather again in the lobby to regroup, then walk to Bruz off Fax for beverages and discussion. Join us!
Buy tickets ($5 for members, $12 for non-members)
See all films in the series and dates (approximately one per week). We plan to have a meetup event for each one, so watch out for those.

When martial arts superstar Bruce Lee died in 1973, the world went into shock. A hero to many, he broke down international barriers and became an icon. So, what happens when an actor and artist at the height of their career is no longer able to fill the vast demand for his talents? In the ‘70s and ‘80s, an entire subgenre dedicated to filling that void was born.
Join us for this fascinating documentary!

After the film, we will head to Barfly in the Alamo for drinks and discussion.
- Challengers at the MayanLandmark's Mayan Theatre, Denver, CO
It's a tennis movie! It's a love triangle! It's Luca Guadagnino's latest movie, Challengers, and it's apparently a lot of fun. Tim Grierson, of the Grierson & Leitch podcast, describes it thusly:
A scintillating romantic triangle paired with a gripping sports drama, Challengers finds Luca Guadagnino in crowd-pleasing mode, delivering his most purely entertaining film. As is often the case with the Italian director’s pictures, the fickleness of love is at the centre of this narrative, but never before has he operated with such playful showmanship as he follows the ups and down of best friends, both of whom dream of tennis glory, and the rising star they each covet. Zendaya is superb as the object of their affections, complemented by Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist as longtime buddies who have much to learn both on the court and in the bedroom.
Yeah, that'll work. That'll work well.
Join us for a showing of Challengers at the Mayan on Saturday, April 27th at 1:15. I'll be in the lobby at 12:50 holding a Denver Cinema Club sign. Afterward, we'll hash out tennis' rules, and whether the movie worked for us or not, at The Hornet.
Free parking is available in the lot next to the Mayan on Lincoln.
