Since 1978, the Denver Film Society (DFS) has worked to promote the film medium as both an art form and a civic forum, developing a program that includes year-round screenings, community outreach projects and renowned special events. It is in fact the only nonprofit organization in Colorado dedicated to engaging both its members and the general public in a lifelong, life-altering relationship with and understanding of film and film culture.

The twin pillars it has built on the foundation of this vision are the award-winning Denver Film Festival, now in its third decade, and the Sie Film Center.

On Saturday, November 14th at 8:00 PM in the Ellie Caulkins Opera House there will be a screening of Coming Through the Rye. This film was written, directed, and co-produced by James Sadwith, this smart, semiautobiographical coming-of-age story set in 1969 against a pastoral landscape features winning performances by its two up-and-coming leads, Alex Wolff and Stefania Owen.
