The 3rd Annual Estes Park Film Festival Announces Official Selections
Showcasing over 40 independent films from around the world, the 3rd Annual Estes Park Film Festival will take place September 11-14 at the Historic Park Theatre in downtown Estes Park, Colorado. Built in 1913, the Park Theatre is the oldest operating movie theatre west of the Mississippi and is on the national register of historic places. This September filmmakers, festival attendees, and industry professionals from around the world will travel to Estes Park to enjoy the diverse selection of independent films, filmmaker panels, and numerous festival parties.
Included in this year's line-up is the feature film "Broken Fences" from University of Colorado film school graduate Troy McGatlin. In the film a lifetime of bad luck threatens a father and son's reunion, as old wounds resurface and new ones are opened in this fusion of family drama and contemporary western. In the film "War Eagle, Arkansas", starring Brian Dennehy, a young man must choose whether to leave his family and friends for a career in baseball or stay and redeem his struggling community.
Documentaries at the festival include "Six Seconds of Freedom" about the Angola Prison Rodeo and "RiverWebs" about the remarkable world of river ecosystems and the science that explores them. Champion tri-athlete and marathon runner Diane Israel chronicles her quest to understand both the personal and cultural forces that propelled her to seek physical perfection at any cost in the moving and inspirational film "Beauty Mark", and Hollywood agent, Richard Kraft, drags his son through an obsessive quest to recapture his childhood in the hilarious film "Finding Kraftland".
Four different programs of short films complete the festival line-up along with such highlights as the fanciful family film "Loon" at the EPFF Student Film Showcase and the world premiere of Ethan Knightchilde's "Not For Today, But For All Time" about the importance of movie theatre preservation. In the suspenseful "Merriman's Circle" an elderly woman fears she is being targeted by a menacing car cruising her suburban neighborhood, and in the film "Circulation" filmmaker Trevor Elliot takes you on a dollar bill's journey over the course of one day and the different ways that it affects the people it encounters.
Many of the filmmakers will be on hand to introduce their films and will be a part of a filmmaker panel discussion on the creative process of getting their films from script to screen. There will also be plenty of parties where attendees can mingle with the filmmakers and other film enthusiasts. For a complete schedule of film screenings, parties, and panel discussions visit www.estesparkfilm.com or call 970-231-2580.

The 2nd Annual Estes Park Film Festival Announces Official Selections
Showcasing over 50 independent films from around the world, the 2nd Annual Estes Park Film Festival will take place September 14-16 at the Historic Park Theatre in downtown Estes Park, Colorado. Built in 1913, the Park Theatre is one of the oldest movie theatres still operating in America. In addition to the Park Theatre, suspense and horror films will screen at the Historic Stanley Hotel, which is famous for its inspirational role in Stephen King's book & film, "The Shining". Student films will also screen at the Lake Shore Lodge as part of our Student Filmmaker Showcase. Included in this year’s line-up is the hilarious comedy “Life with Fiona” about Scott Parker who's unlucky in love - that is, until he meets the woman of his dreams. Joe D’Augustine’s “One Night with You” is about down-on-his-luck Jake Tarlow (Mark Boone Junior) who has to get reclusive writer Hunter Burnell (Michael Parks) to an important meeting in what will probably be the last great time of his life. Other feature films include the quirky documentary “Plagues & Pleasures on the Salton Sea” about California’s newest ecological time bomb, and at the Stanley Hotel “The 4th Dimension” explores the dark and lonely world between dreams and reality.
Short Films include the poignant story “Trail End” about Hank (Barry Corbin) and his last ride across Kansas with the help of his best friend Chip -- an old Appaloosa. A lonely, high functioning mentally challenged man falls in love with a 900 sex-line operator, and through that call, both find redemption in the funny and inspiring “My Name is Wallace”. At the Student Filmmaker Showcase an old man comes back home and tries to reconcile himself with his family who are all immortal and never age in “The Old Son”. Other short films include Sheila Schroeder’s newest documentary “Crunch!”, the apocalyptic “Café at the Crossroads”, and the mysterious “Twilight of Youth”.
Many of the filmmakers will be on hand to introduce their films and will take part in a Q&A on the creative process of getting their films from script to screen.
