Lights on at the Boulder Film Fest

With Oscar season in full swing, it's time to wake up and smell the celluloid. And there's no better way to get your fill of film than by attending the Boulder International Film Festival. Tonight through Sunday, this year's BIFF will showcase some of today's most compelling independent cinema. The centerpiece of the fest is The Lightkeepers, a romantic drama set in 1912 that stars beloved Hollywood veterans Richard Dreyfuss and Blythe Danner. Says BIFF jury president Neal Lemlein, “After seeing The Lightkeepers, I felt that its understated elegance and charm really embraced what the Boulder International Film Festival has come to represent: boldly independent filmmaking driven by great talent and overall presence. We really think The Lightkeepers will leave our audience abuzz on opening night and set the stage for our best festival ever."
