Sponsored by TMVOA and presented by the Telluride Film Festival, Village Film Nights offers six evenings of recently released films, screened at the Telluride Conference Center. With the Nugget Theater temporarily closed for renovations, this initiative brings the cinematic experience back to the community, offering locals and visitors a welcoming space to enjoy great films together.

The series kicks off on Monday, July 7 with a special screening of “28 Years Later,” the highly anticipated follow-up 28 years on from the original. Directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, the film revisits a world still scarred by the Rage virus, following a young boy on an emotional journey of survival and discovery.

The Guardian raves that the film “looks like exactly the sort of poundingly intense folk horror that we don’t make any more. It looks like a film… where you don’t want to walk home alone in the dark after the credits roll.”

All titles in the series will be curated by the Telluride Film Festival team and announced throughout the summer.

Village Film Nights is a celebration of storytelling and a reflection of community spirit—bringing people together to experience cinema the way it was meant to be seen: on the big screen.
