Denver Westword Best of Award
Best Film Festival 2010
DocuWest
Documentaries seem to always get the short end of the reel
in the film world: Nobody wants to see Food, Inc. when they can see Avatar instead. But docs do make a difference in our
world, and although most major film festivals include a documentary segment,
there are just a handful of documentary-only film festivals in the country. We
have one of them. Last year, the Denver Film Society and Foothills Art Center
joined forces to produce the DocuWest Fest, for which festival executive
director Reilly Sanborn pulled
together short, essay-form and feature-length documentaries. The festival might
not have boasted the level of star power and glamour of some other film
festivals we could name, but when movies are this intimate, educational and
entertaining, who needs Hollywood?
Lights, camera, more action!
