Immerse yourself in two unforgettable cinematic experiences that explore humanity’s relationship with the world around us—from the fragility of our ecosystems to the absurdity of our own making.
"Radiant Blue Marble: Moving Pictures for a Living Planet" is an inspiring short-film showcase featuring visionary artists and filmmakers from around the world. Presented alongside GOCA’s exhibition Simulacra, this vibrant program brings together five dynamic blocks of films that reveal the intricate connections between people, technology, and the natural world. From breathtaking visual journeys to powerful environmental stories, these films invite audiences to see our planet with fresh eyes and imagine new possibilities for its future.
Presented in collaboration with the UCCS Galleries of Contemporary Art (GOCA), Independent Film Society of Colorado, Rocky Mountain Women’s Film, and Youth Documentary Academy, and supported by the University of Colorado Boulder’s NEST Studio for the Arts (Nature, Environment, Science, & Technology), Radiant Blue Marble sparks conversation, creativity, and connection across generations.
Complimentary pizza lunch is included with the Radiant Blue Marble program, and attendees can explore GOCA's Simulacra exhibition between screenings.
Next, experience Stanley Kubrick’s legendary "Dr. Strangelove" (1964), the razor-sharp Cold War satire that remains as hilarious, unsettling, and relevant today as when it first premiered. Known for its unforgettable performances and darkly comedic take on nuclear politics, the film also features dramatic aerial sequences filmed over Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. Presented by the Ent Center for the Arts and Denver Film as part of the statewide CO150 Film Festival.
Make a day of it! Purchase tickets to both events for a special discounted price of just $20, and enjoy a thought-provoking journey from environmental storytelling to Kubrick's iconic satire. Connect with fellow film lovers, explore GOCA’s Simulacra exhibition, and experience a day of cinema, conversation, and community centered on our shared planet and collective future.
