The Boulder International Film Festival (BIFF), February 14 – 17, 2008
4 days of controversy, spice, color, laughter, outrage, adventure, ideas, culture and community
BIFF is held annually on President's Day Weekend in Boulder, Colorado, USA, and has developed a reputation as one of the most influential young film festivals in the U.S., with an extraordinary number of new-but-unknown feature films, documentaries and shorts that have gone on from early screenings at BIFF to significant box-office success and multiple Oscar nominations. Over 10,000 filmmakers, national media, special guests and film enthusiasts attended the four-day BIFF 2007.
The Festival has been proud to host and celebrate some of independent film’s most talented players, including legendary Indie filmmakers Michael and Mark Polish “The Polish Brothers” (Twin Falls Idaho, Northfork, The Astronaut Farmer), Golden-Globe nominated actress Maria Bello (A History of Violence, The Cooler, Thank You for Smoking), Academy-Award nominated writer and director Susannah Grant (Erin Brockovich, 28 Days, Catch and Release, In Her Shoes) and renowned Hollywood screenwriter John August (Big Fish, Go, The Nines) along with many other independent filmmakers, directors, producers and stars including Academy-Award nominee Eric Roberts, and Patrick Warburton [Seinfeld]).
Two Tickets to the 2008 BIFF Opening Night Gala. This red-carpet, star-studded party is Boulder’s premiere film event of the year. The black-tie gala at the historic Boulder Theater kicks off the Festival in style with a major film screening, great food, and host of visiting filmmakers. The 2008 Opening Night Gala falls on Valentine’s Day, and as the only “formal attire” event for the public in Boulder, is sure to be a romantic night to remember for film-hip couples looking for stars, glamour and paparazzi!
