True Grit
Doors at 6:30 | Show at 7
There are westerns… and then there’s True Grit. A fourteen-year-old girl walks into a man’s world, hires the meanest marshal she can find to track down her father’s murderer, and simply refuses to take no for an answer. This Coen Brothers classic was filmed almost entirely in Colorado, and honestly, the mountains deserve co-star billing. Sharp dialogue, sweeping landscapes, and some of the most legendary performances in western movie history. Fun fact: production crews reportedly used flamethrowers to melt unexpected snow off the trees during filming.

About the Colorado 150 Film Festival
Colorado turns 150 this year — and we’re marking it with the biggest cinematic celebration the state has ever seen. 150 films. 150 screenings. Historic venues from the mountains to the plains. Watched together, in person, the way movies are meant to be seen.
The CO150 Film Festival is a collection of the best cinema ever made in Colorado, about Colorado, or by Coloradans — past and present. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. And it’s a genuinely good excuse to get off the couch.
