CO150 Film Festival: The Shining

The film showing is free, although we kindly request a $10 donation per person to support the Durango Arts Center. Donations will also be accepted at the door.

Colorado turns 150 this year — and we’re marking it with the biggest cinematic celebration the state has ever seen. 150 films. 150 screenings. Historic venues from the mountains to the plains. Watched together, in person, the way movies are meant to be seen. The CO150 Film Festival is a collection of the best cinema ever made in Colorado, about Colorado, or by Coloradans — past and present. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime celebration.

Join us for our first film showing in the Colorado 150 Film Festival collection – The Shining!

Jack Torrance accepts a caretaker job at the Overlook Hotel, where he, along with his wife Wendy and their son Danny, must live isolated from the rest of the world for the winter. But they aren’t prepared for the madness that lurks within. Though shot almost entirely in England, Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of Stephen King’s novel has come to be most closely identified with Colorado.
