a filmmakers’ festival
Boulder, Colorado , the Smartest City in America (Forbes Magazine), produces sold out shows and huge audiences for the Boulder International Film Festival (BIFF). Thousands of enthusiastic festival goers have helped make BIFF one of the most influential young film festivals in the U.S, with an extraordinary number of new-but-unknown feature films, documentaries and shorts that have gone on from early screenings at BIFF to significant box office success and multiple Oscar nominations. Over 16,000 filmmakers, national media, special guests and film enthusiasts attended the four day BIFF 2010, including Oscar-nominated actor Alec Baldwin (three weeks before he hosted the Oscars) and award-winning actress Blythe Danner.

chris gore points to BIFF
The author of The Ultimate Film Festival Survival Guide and the founder of
Film Threat, says “Boulder as a vacation destination already puts BIFF on the map.
And the staff’s dedication to championing true indies, the amazing hospitality
along with a classic theater (with a full bar that serves drinks during the screenings)
make this a festival that should be on the top of every filmmaker’s list.”
