About the Salida Film Festival

The City of Salida’s first event of its kind, Salida Film Festival will offer a four-day program with new features including A24’s “C’MON C’MON” starring Joaquin Phoenix, and “FIDDLER’S JOURNEY TO THE BIG SCREEN” narrated by Jeff Goldblum, as well as documentary programs with short films from notable Colorado creators including Ben Knight from Salida, whose film “LEARNING TO DROWN” recently took home the Audience Award at the 5Point Adventure Film Festival in Carbondale, Colorado.

In addition to film programming, Salida Film Festival has slated a behind the scenes table read of an upcoming Salida-based romantic comedy, an event celebrating filmmakers from Salida and the surrounding area, a free movement class with dancer and filmmaker Alexandra Lockhart, and a conversation with SeriesFest co-Founder and CEO Randi Kleiner and Film/TV Producer Britta Erickson to discuss the evolving landscape of television and the incredible opportunities and challenges existing in media today.

“To program and produce this multi-day festival is something that we have wanted to do for some time now,” says City of Salida Arts & Culture Supervisor and Director of Salida Film Festival Patrick O’Brien. “While audiences today have different options to view films, we felt it important to do an in-person festival where the films are connectors for a shared, community experience.”

O’Brien leads programming and events at the Salida SteamPlant Event Center in the heart of the Salida Creative District. He has introduced a number of film series to the City of Salida and was tapped to direct efforts for a multi-day film festival after receiving a Blueprint 2.0 grant from the Colorado Office of Film Television and Media. Previously, O’Brien was part of the executive team at Denver Film Society, where he led development efforts to support and expand programs for Denver Film Festival and several other annual mini festivals.

“The films being presented highlight a range of character-driven and topical stories, some serious in tone and subject matter but others providing inspiration and levity. The program unfolded in a way that it embodies this year’s festival tagline: ‘See. Feel. Live.’”

4-Day Passes are only $80 and AVAILABLE NOW at the Salida SteamPlant Box Office. Festival Passes provide access to all film programs, conversations and events. Individual tickets are also available for only $12 per program with the Special Presentation “Celebrate Local Cinema” available at only $9 admission.
