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:

- Chez Artiste Classics: Blow Out with John AnzaloneLandmark's Chez Artiste Theatre, Denver, CO
Join John Anzalone at the Chez Artiste for Brian Depalma's Blow Out!
Brian De Palma's masterly movie conflates Antonioni's Blow-Up and Coppola's The Conversation to produce a potent brew of conspiracy theory and cinematic virtuosity that is all his own. There are echoes of the Kennedy assassination, the drowning of Mary Jo Kopechne at Chappaquiddick and the Watergate cover-up in the story of an obsessive sound effects expert (John Travolta) who stumbles into an elaborate conspiracy while spending the night recording material for a low-budget horror flick in the woods outside Philadelphia (De Palma's home town). He records the sound of a car crashing into a river, rescues the passenger (Nancy Allen) but finds the driver dead. The driver turns out to be the governor, his companion a professional escort, and Travolta finds his recording doesn't match the official explanation.
This is one of the finest films about the process of movie-making, a bleak, complex work that gives Travolta his most challenging role. Pauline Kael called it "the best of all American conspiracy movies". John Travolta once chose it as one of his three favourite films. (The Guardian)Free on-site parking
