This is the host page for all individual films and ticket links. To purchase tickets, simply find the film you want to see and click “tickets.”
Reminder, your ticket may include more than just the film you pick as we show shorts before many of our films. You may also purchase tickets by phone 970.547.3100 from 12-7pm Tuesday-Sunday or purchase tickets in person at the Riverwalk Center or Old Masonic Hall.
Please note many of our films are part of “blocks.” Shorts may be shown before or after a feature film; comedies may be paired with dramas. When you choose a film, note that it is most likely paired with other films. Individual tickets will have the block name rather than the individual film.
If you are a pass-holder, check in which block your chosen film resides. We ask that you stay for the entirety of the block and enjoy all our films!
