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- "Crash" @Alamo Drafthouse Sloans Lake for Weird WednesdaysAlamo Drafthouse Sloans Lake, Denver, CO
The Alamo is NOT letting me sleep!! This is crazy because at the Videodrome event, we were talking about Crash and how it's really difficult to find online--even on my secret websi--I've said too much! The movie gods must have heard me.
Anyway, Crash is widely considered to be Cronenberg's best film, even above The Fly! So I'm willing to sacrifice sleep and work to experience this very weird, special film on the big screen! Won't you join me at this even more ungodly hour for this sinful film?? Thankfully the runtime is only 100 min!
Synopsis: A car crash victim suddenly finds himself turned on by car accidents and becomes involved with an underground sub-culture of like-minded souls.

Since it's so late, we won't be going somewhere to discuss afterwards, but we can do a quick discussion after the screening!
- "The Eel" @The Sie Film Center for Ravishing RadianceSie (Denver) Film Center, Denver, CO
Omg The Sie is doing actual obscure arthouse picks and not some campy American B-movie from the 80s?? The movie gods have heard all of our silent cries!
I know of the director Shohei Imamura because of his apprenticeship under Ozu, the lord and master of cinema. Imamura is known for dealing with matters of sex and sexuality so I'm sure we'll have something to chew on long after the credits roll! He's the only director from Japan to have won the Palm D'or twice for The Ballad of Narayama and this film.
Synopsis: A businessman kills his adulterous wife and is sent to prison. After the release, he opens a barbershop and meets new people, talking almost to no one except an eel he befriended while in prison.
I know it's a late screening but I think it'll be so worth it. Do whatever business you have to do during the day and join me for a late one. Think of it as the button on your eventful Friday.

- Halving the Bones - Woodbury Branch Library - Sat, Sept 13 - 12:45 PM - Free!Denver Public Library: Woodbury Branch Library, Denver, CO
Join DCC and the Woodbury Film Club for a free screening of Halving the Bones, a documentary by director Ruth Ozeki Lounsbury. The film is part of Denver Public Library's One Book One Denver program. One Book One Denver is a citywide reading initiative where all Denverites are encouraged to read the same title, Stay True by Hua Hsu, and attend events related to the book's themes of friendship, identity, and grief. (You don't have to read the book before watching the movie, however.)
The group will meet at 12:45 for the 1:00 screening in the library's basement community room. One of the librarians will introduce the film and lead a discussion afterward. The library will provide light snacks for the screening.
If there is interest, after the discussion we can walk down to Adobo for snacks, drinks, and more conversation.
If you are new to the club, please read our Civil Citizens Guide before RSVPing.
See you at the Woodbury!
