Independence Film Fest of Colorado

Dubbed “Colorado’s feisty new film festival!” by The Denver Post, the Independence Film Fest of Colorado (IFFC) is unique in that it’s the highest film festival in the world and the only major international film festival founded, run and programmed by award-winning veteran filmmakers and members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.  Established in 2007, the IFFC is based in the historic mountain towns of Leadville, Buena Vista, and Salida along Colorado’s breathtaking Arkansas River Valley.  The Second Edition will take place Sept. 3 – 7, 2008, expanding statewide this year to include events in Grand Junction Sept. 12 – 14, and Pueblo Sept. 26 – 28.

Founded, organized, and programmed by director Lawrence David Foldes and producer/former child star Victoria Paige Meyerink, the events focus on Hollywood’s 60s to 80s golden era of substance, story, and character-driven films.
