PUEBLO, Colo. — Mountainfilm on Tour is once again back in southern Colorado following a three-year hiatus with the last showing being a virtual event in 2021.
The event will take place in Pueblo at the Buell Communications Center (BCC) on the Colorado State University Pueblo (CSU Pueblo) campus.
The showcase will be split into four separate viewings at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and a Family Feature matinee on Saturday at 2 p.m.
Throughout the three-day event, 35 short films will be shown, ranging from 3-minute films to 26-minute films. Spectators can expect to see about 10 films per film block, which will last about two hours.
Saturday evening's films will also be accompanied by Spanish subtitles, which is a new feature of the film tour.
“We’re ready to bring Mountainfilm back in-person to Pueblo and Southern Colorado this year and for years to come. The recent addition of Spanish subtitled films [Saturday evening] as an option for our audience along with improvements we’ve made to the department’s facilities and program make this an ideal time to welcome the community back to the campus of CSU Pueblo” said Jon Pluskota, Chair of Media & Entertainment. “Not only are the films great, but students from SOCO Student Media will also gain hands-on experience running the event, which is a centerpiece to our program.".
Mountainfilm on Tour is a documentary-based viewing event that is curated by the prestigious Telluride Film Festival. The films screened align with Mountainfilm's mission of using the power of film, art, and ideas to inspire audiences to create a better world.
"We're excited to bring Mountainfilm on Tour back to Pueblo. I'm so grateful to partner with the CSU Pueblo Media and Entertainment department to share award-winning and emerging filmmakers' work from Colorado and around the world” said Hope Logan, Mountainfilm Tour Director.
