Starz Encore, Sie Foundation Headline $7-Mil Fund Drive for University Film Center

DENVER-Starz Encore and the Anna and John J. Sie Foundation are kicking in $5 million to the University of Colorado at Denver and the Denver Film Society to produce a world-class community for film festivals and film education.

DENVER-Denver-based Starz Encore Group and the Anna and John J. Sie Foundation are leading the charge for a $7-million fund-raising campaign to remake a former movie house into a world-class film study and film festival center. The donation to the University of Colorado at Denver and the Denver Film Society mark the largest that has been received in the society’s history.

The undertaking involves a 25,000-sf, 12-screen theater that had been closed last year by Kansas City, KS-based AMC Theatre. The structure is located on the Auraria college campus at the edge of the CBD.

AMC had operated a movie house in the historic Tivoli complex on the Auraria campus since the mid-1980s. The building now primarily serves as a student union for the campus that includes students from the University of Colorado at Denver, Metropolitan State College and Community College of Denver.
