Denver Film Festival Welcomes Anthony Mackie and Ben Chaplin

The Denver Film Festival, a significant cultural event in the United States, is scheduled for November 1-10, 2024. This year’s festival has attracted well-known actors, including Anthony Mackie and Ben Chaplin, ensuring an exciting series of screenings and discussions. Mackie will attend with his film 'Elevation,' which holds special relevance as it is set and shot in the nearby Rocky Mountain region, creating a local connection. Chaplin will be featuring his film 'September 5,' which recounts the 1972 Munich Olympics hostage crisis and ABC's coverage of the event. The festival will also welcome numerous other notable figures from the film industry, including actress Joan Chen and actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson. The event’s CEO, Kevin Smith, expressed enthusiasm over the extensive lineup of amazing films and the need for multiple red-carpet events across various venues such as the Denver Botanic Gardens and the Ellie Caulkins Opera House. This expanded format allows for a broader celebration of cinema while accommodating the diverse films and talent involved. Moreover, the festival will present the 5280 Award to the film 'Saturday Night' for its collaborative effort. A panel discussion featuring Alan Reitman, along with key cast and crew members from the film, will provide attendees with insights into the filmmaking process. As the festival approaches, the excitement builds for both filmmakers and audiences eager to engage with the vibrant art of cinema in Denver.
