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 four or five films a week, typically at the theaters in central Denver. After watching a film, we usually go to a nearby restaurant to have a snack or 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, seasonal mixers, 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 discussion board and Facebook page for any film-related topics you'd like to bring up. We also publish a monthly newsletter of club news and reviews, the Denver Cinema Club Dispatch.
We hope to see you soon!

See all- "Her" @The Sie Film Center for cinemaTechSie (Denver) Film Center, Denver, CO
2013 was an unusually amazing year for American films, and Her was no exception.
With the rise of AI and people readily using ChatGPT for the smallest and most trivial of questions--with absolutely no concern for its massive energy consumption in sight--we're starting to see this... need for some kind of connection in this very digital age but without doing any of the work that comes with trying to establish one with another human.
Her brilliantly and presciently asks what-if on this idea. And what we get is an really human, really tender story about love, loss, and the ultimate meaning of connection. I didn't get a chance to see this on the big screen back in 2013 and now I do! Please join me! And if anyone's interested we can skip and a hop over to Bruz for some discussion afterwards!
Synopsis: In the near future, a lonely writer develops an unlikely relationship with an operating system designed to meet his every need.

- Resist Much/Obey Little: Selma with John AnzaloneSmiley Library, Denver, CO
Join John Anzalone (film professor, history buff, raconteur) for the second installment of “Resist Much, Obey little” (after Walt Whitman) to showcase films with similar claims to the truth of American history.
In a perfect world, “Selma” would exist solely as a depiction of darker days long since past, an American history lesson that concludes with reassurances that its horrors will no longer be perpetrated, tolerated nor celebrated. Alas, perfection eludes us on this mortal, earthly plane; “Selma” shows the evolution of change while beaming a spotlight on the stunted growth of that which has not changed. Its timeliness is a spine-chilling reminder that those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it. Its story provides a blueprint not only of the past, but of the way forward.
There’s a reason why Ava DuVernay’s film is called “Selma” and not “King”. Like Spielberg’s “Lincoln”, “Selma” is as much about the procedures of political maneuvering, in-fighting and bargaining as it is about the chief orchestrator of the resulting deals. “Selma” affords Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. the same human characteristics of humor, frustration and exhaustion that “Lincoln” provided its President. This relatable humanity elevates King’s actions and his efforts. It inspires by suggesting that the reverence for Dr. King was bestowed on a person no different than any of us. If he can provoke change, we have no excuse not to as well. (Roger Ebert, 2014)THIS IS A WATCH AT HOME EVENT, SCENES AND CLIPS FROM THE MOVIE WILL BE UTILIZED BUT THE FILM WILL NOT BE SHOWN IN ITS ENTIRETY.
PLEASE NOTE THE LOCATION HAS CHANGED TO THE SMILEY LIBRARY

No after event is scheduled - JEOPARDY! Bar League Trivia - Alamo Sloans Lake - Sunday, July 6 - 4:30 PMAlamo Drafthouse Sloans Lake, Denver, CO
Join DCC for JEOPARDY! Bar League trivia at BarFly, the bar at the Sloans Lake Alamo Drafthouse. Valery will be our host this week. The contest starts at 5:00, but the group will meet at 4:30 to stake out seats, place food and drink orders, and get acquainted.
It's free to play, though--understandably--BarFly would like participants to order something. Teams can have up to six players; if more than six DCCers show up, the group will split into two teams.
Here is the web page for the game. You'll find lots of DCCers among the photos.
The group will aim for the couches on the south side of the bar, along the windows overlooking Colfax. Look for a small Denver Cinema Club sign. Arrive early if you can, and help save seats!
For anyone interested in hosting on other nights, here's a list of all the games at the Alamos around town.
