Why Denver is a Great Place to Study Film & Video

The natural beauty of the Denver area is hard to beat, but that's not the only thing drawing filmmakers and film enthusiasts to the Mile High City. This city's cinematic culture has been organized since the late 1970s by the efforts of the Denver Film Society, which has hosted the Starz Denver International Film Festival annually for over 25 years. This organization, in combination with two major universities, smaller community colleges, and an active television and film community, make Denver a happening place for those interested in film and video.
