The Watching Hour at Starz


Curated by Keith Garcia, Programming Manager for the Denver Film Society, THE WATCHING HOUR will focus its eye on films that other theaters are too afraid to show.

Following the success of last year's zombies-on-film celebration, THE WATCHING HOUR continues the party with THE DEAD OF SUMMER presents: as a banner spotlighting the best in new and classic takes on the undead genre the first weekend of every month. Kicking things off August 7 & 8 will be the amazing Canadian tweak on the genre, PONTYPOOL, which follows a small town running from a zombie virus hidden in the words being broadcast from a local radio station.

Filling in the remaining coveted spots every weekend will be the best of genre films new and old including recent controversial festival-circuit hits DEADGIRL (Aug 14 & 15) and GRACE (Aug 21 & 22) and occasional spotlights on special themes starting with THE WIZARDS OF OZ-PLOITATION, a peek at a handful of the best exploitation films produced in Australia in the 1970s and 80s as featured in the documentary NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD (returning to Denver August 14). NQH was a roaring success at THE WATCHING HOUR during SDFF31 and our salute to these films from "down under" begins August 28 & 29 with RAZORBACK, one of the Ozploitation genre's most notorious entries. Directed by Russell Mulcahy (HIGHLANDER) the film features some of the most beautiful outback cinematography you've ever seen a crazed, giant, blood-thirsty wild boar run through.
