Sunset Cinema

Sunset Cinema is our free annual outdoor movie series that takes place in Sculpture Park. In partnership with Denver Film, every summer is dedicated to films that celebrate a particular genre, director, art form or theme. We also bring in local partners to help us curate the experience with performances, costume contests, activities, photo environments, food trucks, craft cocktails and more.

This year the outdoor film + entertainment series highlights food-centric features that will tickle the tastebuds. These five films will transport us throughout the globe, across decades and often to the extreme heat of a chef’s kitchen. There will be performances presented by Dazzle before the films along with themed food trucks, drinks and other cinema snacks available for purchase.

All events are FREE, but please register on Eventbrite by using the "MORE INFO" buttons below.
