DENVER – Denver Film announced today its program lineup for the 49th Annual Denver Film Festival (DFF49), taking place Oct. 22-Nov. 1, 2026. This year’s Festival lineup delivers 129 feature-length films, documentaries and shorts from across the globe, presented at venues across the Denver area, including the Sie FilmCenter, Ellie Caulkins Opera House, MCA Denver at the Holiday Theater, and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science.
The robust lineup includes a collection of acclaimed films that have already distinguished themselves on the international festival circuit, earning major juried, audience and industry awards. Denver audiences will get an early opportunity to experience some of the year’s most celebrated and talked-about films, with several selections generating significant awards-season and Oscar buzz.
The complete schedule of films, screening times and locations is available via the DFF49 site here, along with ticket access to screenings, special presentations, red carpets and events. Tickets to individual screenings, panels and parties go on sale to Denver Film members Oct. 4 at 10 a.m., and to the general public Oct. 5 at 10 a.m. Through the generosity of Denver Arts & Venues and the 2026 Arts Complex Creates grant program, all three public screenings at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House will be offered with a dedicated allotment of sliding-scale “Pay-What-You-Can” admissions. In addition, select general admission screenings offered at other Festival venues will provide a limited number of sliding-scale tickets throughout the Festival.
The DFF49 curtain rises Oct. 22 with the Opening Night presentation of Amazon MGM Studios’ I Play Rocky at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House. Directed by Academy Award winner Peter Farrelly, the film tells the electrifying true story follows a young, unknown Sylvester Stallone who bets everything on himself, refusing to give up his dream of not only writing Rocky but playing the iconic underdog himself. Anthony Ippolito (The Offer) stars as Stallone, with a cast including AnnaSophia Robb, P.J. Byrne, Toby Kebbell, Matt Dillon, Tracy Letts, Jay Duplass and Stephan James. Writer Peter Gamble will present the film to the Opening Night audience at the Ellie and participate in a Creative Conversation the following day.
The Festival continues with Behemoth! and Ink as its Centerpiece presentations on Oct. 24 at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House. Directed by Tony Gilroy, the Searchlight Pictures film Behemoth! stars Pedro Pascal as Alex Serian, a gifted cellist who returns home to Los Angeles after 20 years on the road. Music, which has been the constant, all-consuming river of his life, swells into an adventure that will change him forever. Utilizing an unprecedented nine composers, Behemoth! is a love letter to movie scoring and the dizzying power music holds on our memories and imaginations.
Netflix’s Ink, directed by Danny Boyle, is an explosive cinematic rollercoaster that captures the wild, chaotic true story of a group of misfits and visionaries who set out to revolutionize modern media. Fueled by a relentless desire to give the public what it wanted, their radical idea forever transformed the landscape of modern news. The film stars Jack O’Connell, Guy Pearce and Claire Foy.
The Festival will present its Closing Night film on Saturday, Oct. 31, with Neon’s Paper Tiger at the MCA Denver at the Holiday Theater. Directed by James Gray and starring Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansson and Miles Teller, this deeply felt and intense drama follows two brothers who become entangled in an alluring scheme that proves too good to be true. As they attempt to navigate their way through the high-stakes, dangerous world of the Russian mafia, long-standing family bonds begin to fray with life-altering consequences.
Denver Film will also welcome and honor several special guests. Carrie Coon will receive the Excellence in Acting Award for her stellar work in The Liberation. The film stars Coon as a woman who stuns her family by joining a cult led by an enigmatic figure portrayed magnetically by Lily James. Acclaimed actor John Cho will be honored with this year’s Outlaw Award in conjunction with his work in Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother.
Liz Sargent will be honored as the festival’s Breakthrough Director for Take Me Home, her feature film debut based on her short film of the same name about a woman caring for her aging parents in a heat wave. Fred Hechinger (The White Lotus, Gladiator II) will receive the Rising Star Award following a screening of his latest work in A Long Winter. Benedetta Porcaroli, the star of previous festival awardee Amanda, will claim the 2026 Maglione Italian Film Award for The Kidnapping of Arabella. David Acord, known for his work as a sound editor in the Star Wars universe and for voicing that lovable scamp Grogu, will receive Excellence in Sound Design for Behemoth!, while experimental filmmaker Michael Gitlin will accept the annual Stan Brakhage Award alongside a retrospective of his work.
Denver Film will present more than a dozen Special Presentations of the most anticipated and acclaimed films of the year. Festival standouts include The Debut, directed by Jesse Eisenberg and starring Julianne Moore as an unassuming housewife whose foray into community theater transforms her into a committed method actress – and leads her to clash with her director, played by Paul Giamatti; Wild Horse Nine, Martin McDonagh’s acid-burn comedy led by a never-better John Malkovich and an equally great Sam Rockwell as CIA agents on a mission best left unspoiled; Elsinore, with a powerhouse performance by Andrew Scott as Ian Charleson, an actor who battled to play Hamlet on stage while also battling AIDS; Club Kid, Jordan Firstman’s funny and moving breakthrough about a club promoter who is forced to grow up fast; Josephine, with Channing Tatum and Gemma Chan as parents trying to navigate the aftermath of a traumatic event; The Only Living Pickpocket in New York, starring John Turturro as a career thief who makes a move against the wrong mark; and Wicker, with Olivia Colman as a fisherwoman who finds love with a man made of wicker (it helps that he’s played by Alexander Skarsgård).
Special Presentation screenings of Josephine and Take Me Home are co-presented with the Sundance Film Festival.
In addition to Special Presentations, this year’s lineup will provide most attendees with their first opportunities to see international awards contenders like La Bola Negra, which recently won the People’s Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival, the emotionally poignant All of a Sudden, and the morally tumultuous Minotaur. The Denver Film Festival will serve as the U.S. premiere of Growth of the Soil, Norway’s official Oscar submission.
“This year’s program highlights the remarkable ways cinema captures human connection and resilience, and it delivers a lineup that is as entertaining as it is thought-provoking,” said Denver Film Festival Artistic Director Matthew Campbell. “From sharp, high-altitude Colorado comedies to award-winning festival circuit fare, captivating documentaries and stories born here in our own community, these films demonstrate the pure joy and impact of great storytelling. We’re looking forward to welcoming our audiences to experience this dynamic mix of bold international cinema, new voices and brilliant local talent.”
Completing the 11-day Festival programming, DFF49 will deliver a robust lineup of general screenings including feature-length films, documentaries, and shorts. In addition, the Festival will offer filmmaker conversations, events, panels, parties, industry guests, awards and tributes that will be presented in venues across the city, including the Sie FilmCenter, Ellie Caulkins Opera House, Denver Museum of Nature & Science and the MCA Denver at the Holiday Theater.
“Forty-nine years in, the Denver Film Festival is still driven by what has always mattered most: bringing our community together around great movies and the people who make them,“ said Denver Film CEO Kevin Smith. “We’re incredibly proud to be a long-standing part of Denver’s vibrant arts and cultural landscape and I can’t imagine a better way to open our 49th Festival than with I Play Rocky, an underdog story that captures the determination, creativity and spirit of independent film we celebrate every year. With an extraordinary lineup ahead of us and our 50th anniversary on the horizon, there’s so much to celebrate, and we’re just getting started.“
Additional in-person guests/honorees will be announced as confirmed in the weeks ahead.

Krzysztof Kieslowski Award for Best Feature Film – Finalists
In its early years, the Denver Film Festival gained a reputation within the international film community for showcasing, on a regular basis, new Eastern European films. Krzysztof Kieslowski appeared in 1989 for a major tribute and was a guest again in 1994. The director died in 1996 at the age of 55. The following year, Krzysztof Kieslowski Award for Best Feature, presented to a feature-length film that reflects the artistic sensibilities of the late Polish director, was established the next year under the auspices of the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland and in collaboration with the widow of the late director.
