The Broomfield Independent The films will be presented in the Library's Eisenhower Room. at 3 Community Park Road in Broomfield. Doors open at 6:00, and the films start at 6:30. The filmmakers will be present to discuss their films and answer questions from the audience. Admission is free. The Broomfield Independent Film Series is a non-profit arts project of the Broomfield Council on the Arts and Humanities that encourages the understanding, production, and appreciation of independent films. The program offers an opportunity for local filmmakers from throughout Colorado to screen their works and discuss the filmmaking process with the Broomfield community. The film presentation is free to the public and provides a source of high-quality entertainment missing in the Broomfield community today—independent film screenings. At the same time, by fostering public interest, the series hopes to motivate more local artists, especially youth, minorities, and seniors, to explore the film arts. Each presentation includes a question-and-answer session with filmmakers, film technicians, and educators, enabling members of the community to learn more about the subject matter and how films are made. The Broomfield Independent Film Series brings together diverse groups, speakers, and films that appeal to different ethnic and demographic community groups. The annual program stresses the educational aspects of film and video production and includes a program targeted at teens.

Independent films and videos are produced and financed outside the traditional Hollywood system, such as those shown at Sundance, Telluride, and other film festivals. The Broomfield Independent Film Series is the only venue in Broomfield offering this type of film, which typically recruits local talent, focuses on more personal storylines, and features local settings. Howard Zaremba, Broomfield resident and executive director of the Broomfield Independent Film Series, commented, “The Broomfield Independent Film Series is the only Broomfield-based film arts project and the first outlet to focus specifically on independent films. We showcase short-form narrative, animation and documentary productions and invite filmmakers to discuss their work and interact with the audience. We support the community and offer a small honorarium to selected organizations. We want to encourage more interest in local talent and independently produced films throughout the Denver metro area.” By not charging an admission fee, the film series is accessible to those who might not be familiar with locally produced film and video programs. The Broomfield Independent Film Series is funded by the Broomfield Council on the Arts & Humanities; the Broomfield Community Foundation; the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District; and the City and County of Broomfield Arts, Culture, and Science Funding Program. BIFS also works closely with other arts and science organizations including Boulder Valley Media Allaince, Boulder Valley School District, Native American Relief Fund, The Camino Arriba Foundation, Boulder International Film Festival and other progressive organizations. ######################## Listing of
