Estes Park Film Festival announces 2010 lineup
ESTES PARK FILM FESTIVAL
When: Friday, September 17 to Sunday, September 19
Where: The Historic Park Theatre, 130 Moraine Ave., Estes Park
Admission: Various packages from $7 adult/$6 student for an individual film to $95 for an all-weekend Gold Pass ($75 if purchased before September 4).
Sure, it’s something of a drive but where else can you watch a weekend worth of films under $100 in one of the oldest theaters in the country?
That’s the Estes Park Film Festival in a nutshell, and this year they offer even more of the edgy independent films that they’re known for, including two world premieres and a return of the popular Stan Herd biopic Earthwork, which won Best Film at this year’s Indie Spirit Film Festival.
