Denver Film Festival promises buzz worthy films, high profile guests
The newest additions to Denver Film’s guest list for its 48th annual Film Festival include actors Zoey Deutch and Ben Foster, as well as directors Charlie Polinger and Peggy Ahwesh.
Deutch will appear in-person on Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2025 to receiver the Rising Star Award after the screening of her new film Nouvelle Vague. Foster will also appear in-person at the screening of his new film Christy, which is a biographical sports drama about former professional boxer Christy Martin. Foster will receive the Festival’s inaugural Outlaw Award, honoring excellence in antagonistic performances.
Denver Film previously announced that actors Lucy Liu, Delroy Lindo, and Niecy Nash-Betts would be attending the festival at various times, along with director Gus Van Sant.
“We are so excited to kick things off this year on Halloween with Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. So, the third installment of the Knives Out films. We’re also going to be having an amazing opening night party at Kirk of Highland. Also spooky themed,” said Matt Campbell, Artistic Director for the Denver Film Festival.
Denver Film Festival will host a second screening on Halloween night. The Late Night Showcase will feature Primate, an American horror film.
This year’s Centerstage presentation is Is This Thing On? at the Holiday Theater on November 3, 2025. Bradley Cooper directs and stars in the film along with Will Arnett and Laura Dern.
The Closing Night presentation should be a draw for Broncos fans. It’s the world premiere of Elway, a documentary on legendary Broncos quarterback, John Elway.
“We’ll be going through November 9th, and we’ll be showing over 130 films, a lot of Oscar buzzworthy titles, documentaries, international films, indie films, short films and a lot of panels and creative conversations,” Campbell explained.
This year, Denver Film Festival will show a series of special retrospective films honoring the film industry artists who’ve recently passed away.
- Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, in honor of Robert Redford.
- The French Connection, in honor of Gene Hackman.
- Mulholland Drive, in honor of David Lynch
- Something’s Gotta Give, in honor of Diane Keaton
- 3 Women, in honor of Shelley Duvall
- Top Secret!, in honor of Val Kilmer
In order to program the 10-day festival, Campbell watches some 500 movies every year. When asked what is the hidden gem in this year’s lineup, he responded that it’s difficult to pick just one, but then went on to say,
“One of my favorites is The Testament of Anne Lee, so this is a new film by the creative team that did The Brutalist last year. This is about Ann Lee who was the found of the Shaker religious movement. It stars Amanda Seyfried, and it’s a musical. So it’s crazy, over the top, but really fascinating, amazing film making.”
The announcement that the Sundance Film Festival is coming to Boulder is all the buzz in the Colorado film community. Denver Film welcomes the addition.
“It’s going to be an amazing addition to an already rich ecosystem here for the film industry, and we’re excited to partner with them. It’s just going to raise both of our games as we go forward,” said Kevin Smith, Chief Executive Officer at Denver Film.

Community Guidelines
Welcome to Denver Stiffs! We’re glad you’re here.
Denver Stiffs is a community where sports fans from all backgrounds gather to share their passion. We strive to create a fun and welcoming place for everyone to come fan with us. These guidelines help ensure that happens. Here’s the short version:
- Be respectful in your interactions with contributors and fellow fans.
- Don’t be a jerk, and don’t call other people jerks.
- We’ll remove anything we see that jeopardizes our communities.
- We ask that you do your best to keep the conversation to sports and primarily our favorite NBA team. Why? Because there are plenty of other sites where you can air your opinions about everything from politics to soup recipes.
- You can help with that. If you see something that doesn’t align with our guidelines, let us know. Flag any comments or usernames that violate our guidelines so our community managers can review them.
These rules extend to our communities everywhere: in our comments, on social media, and in real life.
We do not allow any of the following:
- Personal attacks: This includes name-calling, insults, threats, hurtful comments about someone’s appearance, voice, or style, and all other forms of attacks. We want our communities to be welcoming and fun. Personal attacks are the opposite of that.
- Attacks on staffers: It’s fine to critique a post, disagree with a take, or point out errors. We draw the line, however, at personal attacks (see above) about writers, editors, moderators, etc.
- Discriminatory or derogatory language: This includes racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or other forms of discrimination.
- Harassment: This includes, but is not limited to, intimidation; stalking; unwanted photography; inappropriate physical contact; use of sexual or discriminatory imagery, comments, or jokes; and unwelcome sexual attention.
- Wishing harm on athletes: Don’t root for an injury, don’t root for harm to befall a coach or athlete. You can want someone to get fired or released, but please do not hope for bodily harm.
- Misinformation and disinformation: Sharing demonstrably false information about news or world events, beyond the scope of reasonable sports opinion or analysis, can be harmful to our communities. These comments will be removed and may result in a suspension or a ban.
- Illegal activity: Don’t promote, encourage, or make light of any kind of illegal activity, including DUIs, domestic violence, or sexual assault.
- NSFW images and comments: Keep it PG-13, or you will be removed. This includes language and images that are sexual, violent, or generally offensive in nature.
- Excessive profanity: Fans get worked up on game days, and we’re fans, too. We understand that. As a general rule, keep profanity to a minimum. Some communities prohibit profanity, so be sure to review guidelines for the individual communities you participate in.
- Multiple accounts and throwaway emails: These are a signal that you’re not interested in being a productive member of our communities, and we do not allow it.
- Trolling: We know it when we see it, and we’ll remove it. Don’t go to a rival team’s community for the sole purpose of riling up their fans, either. Moreover, you should never publish any private or personally identifiable information. Doxxing is strictly prohibited.
- The “first post” rule: If you break any of these guidelines with your very first post or interaction, it signals to our community managers you’re just here to be disruptive. Violators may be banned, blocked, or removed.
- Spam: We have a zero-tolerance policy on spam, which includes sharing links to illegal game streams or downloads. Spam will be deleted and spammers may be banned, blocked, or removed.
- Political commentary: Denver Stiffs is a site dedicated to the Denver Nuggets, not politics. There are many sites available on the internet to discuss politics, Denver Stiffs is not one of them. Please refrain from any political commentary while using our site.
Anyone who doesn’t follow these rules when engaging in our communities will at best be removed from the conversation, and at worst will end up banned from that community. These decisions will be made at the discretion of our community managers and other Mile High Sports personnel. Community managers and moderators have final say on interpretation of violating our community guidelines, and on all decisions resulting in a warning, suspension, and/or ban.
If you see any of these things happening in our communities, please flag it and it will be reviewed. You can also reach out via our contact page.

Louisiana child rape suspect arrested in Denver
DENVER (KKTV) – A man out of Louisiana suspected of child rape is now in custody in Colorado.
The U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force said they arrested 43-year-old James Connolly Tuesday morning in Denver.
The U.S. Marshals Service said Connolly was wanted by West Baton Rouge Parish deputies for first-degree rape of a child under 13 years old.
According to the U.S. Marshals, a full-scale investigation into the allegation was launched, and probable cause was found to file charges.
After an arrest warrant was issued on August 12, they said Connolly was likely aware of the warrant and had fled the state.
On Monday, officials reportedly received information that he could be in Denver. The next day, the U.S. Marshals Service said the Colorado Violent Offender Task Force found Connolly working maintenance for a company near I-270 and York Street in Denver under the name “Alli” with a changed physical appearance.
Officials said Connolly was then positively identified and taken into custody.
“The success of this arrest represents a culmination of extensive cooperative investigative efforts between the U.S. Marshals in Baton Rouge, U.S. Marshals Colorado Violent Offender Task Force – Denver, West Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office, Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office, Colorado Bureau of Investigation, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Englewood Police Department, and Colorado Department of Corrections,” the U.S. Marshals Service said in a release.
He’s currently in the Adams County Jail pending extradition back to Louisiana.
