DoctoberFest, a new event from The Chambana Film Society, will be featuring over a dozen documentary screenings throughout the month, mostly high profile theatrical releases that did not play in the CU area. Most of them have played at world-class film festivals like Sundance, SXSW, and Tribeca. Filmmaker Rustin Thompson journeys into the American West on a search for traces of what was once a center of small-town life: the movie theater. On the trip, he finds long abandoned and forgotten cinemas; movie houses that have fallen into disrepair; theaters recently closed, theaters struggling to hold on, and theaters that—thanks to their thoughtful caretakers—are not only surviving but thriving.
Tickets are $12. Please purchase from the Chambana Film Society.
