The new film “Don’t Look Up” is a scathing satire about people’s response to climate change. Except a comet, hurtling towards Earth, stands in for global warming. The writers of “Don’t Look Up,” including Denver journalist David Sirota, do not imagine this event brings humanity together. In the film, there’s widespread skepticism of the science. A tech mogul tries to make money off the whole thing. And members of the media downplay the seriousness to keep their shows light and fluffy.

The attraction, which some call authentic and others call fake, has a complicated history of preservation and conservation.

"Storm Lake" follows Pulitzer Prize-winning editor Art Cullen and his work with his family to keep their newspaper, The Storm Lake Times, alive. Jerry Risius is one of the documentary's directors. They joined CPR arts and culture reporter Monica Castillo for a panel discussion in front of an audience at the recent Denver Film Festival.

Rebekah Henderson's documentary, "Running with my Girls," is about women of color running for office in Denver. They all saw gentrification force out their friends and neighbors and they wanted to do something about it.

The first edition only had 78 films in its program, a robust lineup that would grow over time to over 200 titles at this year’s festival. As it nears its 45th anniversary, the organizers remember the first days of the fest.

On the opening night of their new exhibit, Folklórico Espectacular featuring Amalia Hernández, El Pueblo Historical Museum invited three different dance groups to celebrate the local history of baile folklórico and the Mexican dance legend who helped bring it to the world.

The 44th iteration of the fest has the work of many people from Colorado showcased. Here's a look at what they made, and what to expect.

"Smoking Mirrors" draws from histories both real and mythical. Many are reflections of indigenous Mexican cultures, how colonization affected them and how ancient traditions still survive.

This includes one of the museum’s oldest collections, Western American Art, which sits proudly next to impressive views of the Rocky Mountains in the distance.

The Colorado Springs Philharmonic and the Pikes Peak Musicians Association struck a new three-year contract that will bring professional orchestral music back to the region.

One of Meow Wolf's co-founders is Caity Kennedy. She’s an artist in her own right who has been experimenting with immersive art since her time at the Rhode Island School of Design. She moved to Santa Fe just before co-founding Meow Wolf the following year.

The new Meow Wolf features an array of imagery and artistry, including a nod to once-iconic metro Denver locations like Celebrity Sports Center and Cinderella City. Colorado artists Rob Ayala, Andrew Novick and Pamela Webb share their creative journey, which is now a part of this new immersive artistic experience.

The immersive art experience hit some snags along the way, but it is finally opening in Denver. From memory, and the city's past, we walked through it to help you understand what to expect.

The end of the Telluride Film Festival means awards season is upon us. Here are five films that screened at the festival that you can soon watch.

In Greene’s new documentary, six men who survived sexual abuse at the hands of Catholic priests come together to work with a drama therapist to create a movie out of their shared trauma. For Greene, the premiere of “Procession” at the festival also felt like a homecoming: He was a student at Telluride in 1999 during a festival symposium.
