The Boulder History Museum’s new film exhibit opening Friday, January 13th celebrates over a hundred years of filmmaking in Colorado with film posters and footage dating back to 1898. A special sneak preview with drinks and appetizers will take place Thursday, January 12th from 5:30-7pm. Admission is $10 for the general public, free for members. From the museum’s website:
“Colorado was the backdrop for over 500 movies since 1898. Whether it was for early silent films, Westerns and ski movies, or Stan Brackhage’s famous works of avant-garde art cinema, Hollywood came to Colorado to set the scene. View original movie posters and footage of more than 100 years of Colorado films set in areas such as Golden, Morrison, Cañon City and throughout the high country. This exhibit will also be supplemented with material highlighting Boulder's own movie history.”
The film that was chosen to represent 2012 was Mind’s Eye, from the Boulder-based production company Blackwing Digital. The film features name talent like Malcolm McDowell and Dean Cain. In addition to the star power, executive producer Meryem Ersoz believes the film was chosen to represent this year because it shows off the many wonderful locations that Boulder and the surrounding area have to offer.
More about Mind's Eye and the new exhibit tomorrow!
