Indie Prof

November is Denver International Film Festival (DIFF) month, and so our column takes a break from the normal reviews as we look at several selections from the Festival.

In lieu of the normal two reviews every month, the Indie Prof reviews here one new film and highlights a new film series in our neighborhood.

Oscar season is one of my favorite times of the year, and not because of the actual ceremonies.

As of press time, the nominations for the 88th Academy Awards on Feb. 26 have not yet been announced.

Each month, the Indie Prof reviews a current film in the theater and a second film or series available on DVD or an instant-streaming service.
