If you are a resident, thanks for supporting the arts

My love for the film
festival experience began
20 years ago when I
was living in Park City,
Utah, having lunch in a
restaurant during the
Sundance Film Festival.
A man stood up and
asked if anyone in the
room wanted a free ticket
to a festival screening, and
I immediately answered
with an overly enthusiastic
“I do!” That screening of an Australian film with a Q&A after is
how my journey began. Learning about the story behind the story
intrigued me. I discovered it wasn’t just about the narrative being
played out on the big screen, but how that narrative came to
fruition and the adversities and struggles that many independent
filmmakers go through to bring their stories to life. My hope is that
our audience connects to the films the way I did both on and off
the screen. Our visiting filmmakers tell us repeatedly how much
they love our Durango audience, so Thank You for making the
festival a unique and enjoyable experience for all.
Many thanks to all our supporters who help make this festival
happen. Without ALL of you, we wouldn’t have a film festival of
this magnitude in our home town.

Director Zhangke Jia’s latest work is based loosely around
four true events in China. The stories overlap each other in
very indirect ways and show how the Chinese government’s
exploitation of capitalist ideals affects its people. The film has
already been well-received winning the Best Screenplay Palme
d’Or at Cannes in 2013, and Best Foreign Film at the Toronto

Diagnosed with bipolar disorder, Ross McKenzie’s psychiatrist
told him he would live with the disorder for the rest of his life and
would need to take lithium to control his symptoms. Taking the
drug daily felt like a chemical lobotomy, leaving Ross in a foggy,
drug-induced haze, so he decided to search for treatments
outside of conventional medicine. He detoxed from lithium at
an experimental clinic in Costa Rica, and what ensued was an
exploration into alternative treatments for his condition.

This soulful documentary chronicles a uniquely musical passing
of the torch. It’s the story of first-generation blues performers
who made their way to Chicago from the Mississippi Delta, and
their ardent and unexpected followers consisting of young, white,
middle-class kids who followed the evocative music to smoky
clubs deep in Chicago’s ghettos. Passed down from musician
to musician, the Chicago blues transcended the color lines of
the 1960s as these young, white Chicago musicians apprenticed
themselves to legends such as Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf.

This biographical portrait of Harris Glenn Milstead, a.k.a. Divine,
honors him in just the way he craved — as a serious artist and
immortal star. Divine’s story is told from his early days as a misfit
youth in Baltimore through his rise to infamy as a cult superstar.
Like the characters he portrayed in films, Divine was the ultimate
outsider. He transformed himself from a bullied schoolyard fat
kid to a larger-than-life personality as his alter-ego Divine. With
an in-your-face style, he blurred the line between performer and
personality.

the nation. Was this a hate crime, one perpetrated by a budding
neo-Nazi whose masculinity was threatened by an effeminate gay
