The much-anticipated Starz Denver Film Festival is gearing up for the launch of their annual celebration of film (35th year!) which runs November 1st through November 11th.
Once again, the fest’s organizers have rustled up a wide-and-varied selection of celluloid offerings.
For example, The Starz Denver Film Festival is presenting (with a lot of fanfare) signature events, galas, and a diverse line-up of films from around the globe featuring everything from student shorts, to a 15-hour film, to some of Hollywood's most buzz-worthy Award Season releases," noted Festival Director Britta Erickson, in so many words.
"New this year is a central downtown hub for the Festival at the Denver Pavilions to complement the Denver Film Society's permanent cinematic home, the Denver FilmCenter/Colfax, and our special presentation house at the L2 Arts and Culture Center."
The prestigious Festival is slated to honor a handful of actors during the run of the lively festivities in Denver.
Vince Vaughn will receive the 2012 John Cassavetes Award, for instance.
The John Cassavetes Award was established in 1989 (in collaboration with his widow Gena Rowlands) and is awarded to an individual who has made a significant contribution to the world of filmmaking and whose work reflects the spirit of the late John Cassavetes.
The award was first presented to Steven Soderbergh (director) while other recent recipients include Sean Penn, William H. Macy, Kevin Bacon, Tim Robbins, Bill Pullman, JK Simmons, Elliott Gould and Judy Greer.
"Since Vince Vaughn burst on to the indie film scene in 1996 as the charismatic, wise-guy, Trent, in the break-out hit Swingers, we've closely watched his star rise," said Festival Director, Britta Erickson,
"Much to the delight of our audiences, he's graced our big screen at sold-out Film on the Rocks events featuring Old School and Wedding Crashers. Behind the scenes, Vince's star shines equally bright as a writer and a powerful producer making him a tenacious Hollywood triple-threat. We are honored to present him with the Cassavetes Award in conjunction with showcasing one of his documentary producing efforts - which he also narrates - Art of Conflict, directed by his sister, Valeri Vaughn."
The John Cassavetes Award presentation will take place on Saturday November 10th at the "Art of Conflict" screening at L2 Arts & Culture Center.
Immediately following, Denver Post film critic Lisa Kennedy will go one-on-one with Vince and Valeri Vaughn, at what is expected to be an insightful Q A. Attendees will have a rare opportunity to hear directly from the talented actor/producer/writer.
Tippi Hedren will also be presented with the 2012 Mayor's Award for Career Achievement on November 9th at the "Watching Hour" screening of her classic thriller "The Birds" (directed by Hitchcock).
Hedren, who has been recently portrayed by Sienna Miller in the HBO production, The Girl, has appeared in nearly 50 films (including the new feature "Free Samples" which will screen at this year's Festival).
"We're honored and delighted to be presenting Tippi Hedren with the Mayor's Career Achievement Award," said Artistic Director, Brit Withey.
"Having her in person with such a seminal film in which her performance is unforgettable is truly a treat."
Andrea Riseborough will be honored with the 2012 Excellence in Acting Award at a special presentation screening of James Marsh's "Shadow Dancer".
Riseborough, most well known for her role as Wallis Simpson in W.E. (a film directed by Madonna) gives a remarkable performance in "Shadow Dancer" as Colette McVeigh, an active member of the IRA who becomes an informant for MI5 in order to protect her son's welfare.
The Starz Festival is tossing a spotlight on Argentine Cinema, too.
Fourteen films from Argentina will screen at the Festival.
"Argentina is not only one of the most prolific film industries in South America, but perhaps the most diverse. We are extremely pleased to be screening a robust sidebar of films from Argentina, including a three-film tribute to Daniel Burman, one of the country's most successful cinematic exports," said Artistic Director Brit Withey.
Mark Cousin's epic 15-hour "The Story of Film" (perhaps the most definitive study of cinema from its inception in the late 1800's to our present day digital revolution) will also be screened.
The project is neatly sectioned in two-hour blocks that detail specific time periods with a vast amount of film clips over which Cousin's voice charts in detail the infinitesimal to the revolutionary changes in our most popular and accessible art form.
The Story of Film will screen one section a day over eight consecutive days (The Story of Film Daily Pass) and in two marathon sections on the last weekend of the Festival (The Story of Film Marathon Pass).
All-in-all the 2012 SDFF will screen more than 225 features, shorts, and student films, representing close to 40 countries, along with Denver Film Society's signature programs such as the Cinema Q, Reel Social Club, The Watching Hour and Women + Film.
As previously announced, Red Carpet Galas will showcase: A Late Quartet, Quartet, and Silver Linings Playbook.
SDFF will announce all 2012 award recipients and tributes at a later date.
Here is a run-down on the special programming blocks:
FOCUS ON A NATIONAL CINEMA: ARGENTINA
Along with Mexico and Brazil, Argentina has for decades been one of the top producers of films from South America. A staple on the film festival circuit and occasional visitor to the art-houses in the U.S., Argentina is, however, the only South American country to ever win an Academy Award (The Official Story (1985) and The Secret in Their Eyes (2009). The diverse films in this year's focus-and there are 12 of them-range from two outsider's take on living in Argentina for a year (one Polish, Argentinian Lesson and one American, The International Sign for Choking), a nouveau, meta-western (Salt), and the oft-examined revolution era of the 1970s (Clandestine Childhood). This is all anchored by a three-film Tribute to the wonderful Daniel Burman.

PANELS
CHASING ICE: A Conversation
In spring 2005, acclaimed environmental photographer James Balog headed to the Arctic on a tricky assignment for National Geographic: to help tell the story of the Earth's changing climate. Even with his scientific background, Balog had been a skeptic about climate change. But that first trip north opened his eyes and sparked a challenge within him that would put his career and his very well-being at risk.
Within months of that trip to Iceland, the photographer conceived the boldest expedition of his life: the Extreme Ice Survey. With a band of young adventurers in tow, Balog began deploying revolutionary time-lapse cameras across the brutal Arctic to capture a multi-year record of the world's changing glaciers.Balog's story is told in a new Colorado-produced documentary, Chasing Ice.
Directed by Jeff Orlowski, edited by Academy Award-winning producer Davis Coombe, and produced by Oscar-winning producer Paula DuPre Pesman and Oscar-nominated independent filmmaker Jerry Aronson, the film has won awards at film festivals around the world.
It opens nationwide in November.
Join the local team behind Chasing Ice for conversation about the making of the film.

An Evening With Bob Balaban
Actor Bob Balaban receives the Festival's first annual Jack Gilford Award for Comedy.
Balaban is a veteran of Christopher Guest comedies (Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind and For Your Consideration), and also has acted in such films as Capote and the iconic Close Encounters of the Third Kind, which the festival will show as part of the movie's 35th anniversary celebration.
The Chicago-bred Balaban hails from a show business family. His father owned major palatial movie theaters in Chicago, and his mother was an actress. In a career spanning four decades, Balaban not only has acted, but has served as a producer (Robert Altman's acclaimed Gosford Park) and director (HBO's Bernard and Doris). He is uniquely positioned to discuss filmmaking from both creative and business points-of-view having acted in 89 films, written seven titles (big-screen and television) and directed 24 titles (also big screen and television).
Most recently, Balaban narrated Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom. Jack Gilford, who passed away in 1990 and for whom the award was named, was a renowned and gifted comic actor who appeared in more than 80 movies.

The Impact of Childhood Domestic Violence
The Children Next Door, directed by Doug Block and produced by Lynda A. Hansen, is the first documentary of its kind to recount the fear and pain of domestic violence through the eyes of a child.
Shot in Tennessee, this powerful film takes us on a young family's journey to overcome a horrific incident that both shattered and shaped their lives. We live in a society where domestic abuse is pervasive. The statistics are staggering, and behind every number is a devastating personal story.
A movement is under way across the U.S. to generate awareness about the problem of childhood exposure to domestic violence.
This film and this panel are part of that movement.
The panelists: Brian F. Martin, founder of The Childhood Domestic Violence Foundation; Rita Smith, executive director of The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence; and Lynda A. Hansen, producer.
Moderated by Robert Denerstein.
Sunday, November 4, 2:00pm at L2 Arts and Culture Center

The filmmaker and playwright brings his considerable talents to the short form with results that are guaranteed to keep the conversation buzzing.

Panel Moderator Robert Denerstein says that it's always intriguing to discover what's on the minds of filmmakers who bring passion, commitment and talent to the often-precarious and over-commercialized world of moviemaking. Joining in on the conversation, author Paul Zimmerman (VIRGIN NOIR: First Time Directors' Landmark First Interviews with Paul Zimmerman).
