Pase para el Festival de Cine de Silverton Powerhouse CO 150

Denver and Rio Grande tells the story of the fierce competition to build Colorado&#39;s railroads, but its connection to Silverton runs much deeper. Filmed in and around Silverton and the San Juan Mountains, the movie captures the community and its dramatic landscapes as they looked more than seventy years ago. &nbsp;Starring Edmond O&#39;Brien, an Academy Award-winning actor known for The Barefoot Contessa and numerous classic film noirs, Sterling Hayden, remembered for Dr. Strangelove, and The Godfather, and Dean Jagger, Academy Award winner for Twelve O&rsquo;clock High, Denver and Rio Grande brings together an exceptional cast to tell one of Colorado&#39;s defining stories. Their performances, combined with breathtaking Colorado scenery, make this much more than a Western&mdash;it is a celebration of the determination, ambition, and rugged landscapes that helped shape the American West. Note:&nbsp;Tickets are fee-free and %100 of sales goes to Silverton Powerhouse Collective.
