"Memorial Day weekend
is the traditional start to Summer and Film on the Rocks is a Colorado
Summer tradition," said Britta Erickson, Festival Director for the
Denver Film Society. "We are so excited to kick off the season on the
holiday weekend and bring cult-classic and fan-favorite films, great
music and comedy to the iconic and beautiful Red Rocks Park and
Amphitheatre throughout the Summer."
The 16th season of Film on the Rocks will kick off May 23, the first Saturday date in the history of the series, with THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PART 1. With "mustache rides" officially back in the lexicon thanks to a successful Indiegogo campaign, SUPER TROOPERS will play Tuesday, June 2. JURRASIC PARK will screen on Tuesday, June 23 following the highly anticipated summer release of JURRASIC WORLD.
This year marks significant anniversaries for both THE SHINING and PRETTY WOMAN. The 35th anniversary of THE SHINING will screen on Tuesday, June 9.
Denver based Munly and the Lupercalians will bring their eerie
atmospheric sound before the screening, recreating the creepy vibe from
the 2014 Stanley Film Festival. The Denver Film Society produces the 4
day long horror retreat at the Stanley Hotel, made famous for
inspiring Stephen King's The Shining. Making its FOTR debut, celebrate the 25th anniversary of PRETTY WOMEN on Friday, July 31 for a perfect date night under the stars.
