It entertains. It educates. It provokes and persuades, moves and motivates. The cinema’s potential to transform as well as reflect society in all its diversity is what the Denver Film Society aims to recognize and realize. Since 1978, the DFS has worked to promote the medium as both an art form and a civic forum, developing a program that includes year-round screenings, community outreach projects and renowned special events.
In 2002, with the generous support of the Starz Entertainment Group as well as the Scientific & Cultural Facilities District (SCFD), the DFS opened the Starz FilmCenter, a seven-screen independent moviehouse at the Tivoli Student Union (the location reflects its educational partnership with the University of Colorado at Denver’s College of Arts and Media).
