A Poet at Alamo Sloans Lake

One of the best films I saw while film-festing in 2025 is finally making it to Denver and I want you all to see it! A Poet, Columbia's submission for Best International Film is one of the most sneakily-profound comedies I've ever seen. I can't wait to watch it again! Here's the trailer. This is playing in a TINY THEATER so BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW!

From the Alamo site:

Middle-aged and erratic, Oscar is a failed writer who has given up on life. Unemployed and living with family, he wanders the streets of Medellín in a drunken stupor, lamenting the state of literature in his home country, where he has succumbed to the cliché of the tortured artist. However, the opportunity to mentor a young student offers a chance at redemption, if he doesn’t screw it up first. In a performance marked by darkly comic pathos, first-time actor Ubeimar Rios stars in Simón Mesa Soto’s Un Certain Regard Jury Prize-winner A POET, a raw and riotous farce about how good deeds are often met with the universe’s idea of cruel and unusually poetic punishment.

Unfortunately it's only playing for three days over the last weekend of February, so let's go on Saturday night. This is playing in a TINY THEATER so BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW!

I'll be in the lobby pre-show for howdies, then in the same spot after to corral the troops into the bar or some nearby location for discussion. I'll be wearing a DCC hoodie!
