The 2022 Film on the Rocks series will feature a slightly shorter-than-average lineup even as it returns to its rightful perch inside Red Rocks Amphitheatre, organizers announced today.
The 23rd edition, presented by Denver Film and the amphitheater’s owner, Denver Arts & Venues, includes a total of five films, with details on live performances to be announced later. All screenings will be held inside Red Rocks for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began in March 2020, doing away with the drive-in model of the past two years.
The clipped, 2022 schedule begins and ends on crowd-pleasing sci-fi notes, starting June 13 with the Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster “Thor: Ragnarok” and closing Aug. 15 with director Denis Villeneuve’s Oscar-winning epic “Dune.” (See the full lineup below.) Tickets are $16 for general admission and $32 for VIP seating. They’re on sale starting at 10 a.m. on Friday, May 20, at denverfilm.org.
“We’re incredibly grateful to our audiences who fully embraced the drive-in concept for Film on the Rocks over these past two seasons,” said Denver Film CEO, Kevin Smith, in a press statement. “However, there is nothing more special than the in-amphitheatre experience that Red Rocks delivers … .”
Pre-pandemic versions of Film on the Rocks usually offered a least a couple more titles than 2022. However, 2020 and 2021’s COVID-forced adaptations allowed Denver Film to boost its average by hosting up to four screenings per month in the world-famous venue’s parking lot and, starting last year, even add Chrismas movies.
But wouldn’t you rather see a movie fully in the amphitheater (the answer is yes) instead of in its parking lot? (Still yes.) So would we.
Gates for each show open at 6:30 p.m. with musical guests taking the stage at 7 p.m., followed by the film at 8:30 p.m., organizers said. Performers will be announced in the coming weeks.
