BIFF IV THROUGH
THE ROOF!
BOULDER - Long lines and sold-out theaters were the rule last weekend as the fourth annual Boulder International Film Festival topped last year's record attendance by a whopping 70%.
"This year, we had opened a third theater venue at the 900-seat Boulder High Theater to handle some of the crowds." said BIFF Director Robin Beeck, "But with nearly 14,000 tickets sold, all three theaters were often overwhelmed at the same time."
"It takes a pretty good film to sell out a 900-seat theater," Festival Director Kathy Beeck said, "But this year it happened time after time, even Opening and Closing nights."
"Every year, we're proud to show off Boulder's huge, film-savvy audiences to visiting haute-cinema filmmakers, most of whom are not accustomed to walking out on stage [after their film is shown] to face eight to nine hundred cheering, stomping film fans." Kathy Beeck added.
