Letter to the Daily Camera

Submitted to The Daily Camera on Tuesday, Sep. 23:
Suggested byline: Film Events
Suggested title: BIFF & IFS

Please allow me to correct an error in your front-page article of Sep. 22 regarding a “student film series” that attributes this event to the Boulder International Film Festival. B.I.F.F., and other groups, provided some assistance, but the campus matinee screenings should have been primarily attributed to the Children, Youth and Environment Center for Research and Design (an admittedly cumbersome name that has a shortened acronym: C.Y.E.). The films selected by C.Y.E. for their matinee screenings are being complimented with evening shows (of the same films) as part of the regular International Film Series (I.F.S.) program. Omitting the I.F.S. from the article may have caused some confusion for your readers.

The I.F.S. is Boulder’s first art-house film series. It was established in 1941 and shows over 100 films a year in the Muenzinger Auditorium on the C.U. Boulder campus, just west of the Folsom Stadium. It is locally programmed and provides an oasis for celluloid lovers hungry for new film prints of older films as well as bringing in an abundant supply of Boulder and Colorado premieres. We also keep our ticket prices low, charging you half of what you would pay at the multiplex, and bring many exciting free events to the community (and fans, for example, of either Burden of Dreams or Being John Malkovich should know that both Les Blank and Charlie Kaufman are coming in October). For more information please visit our website at internationalfilmseries.com.
