Grab a ballot, or, new this year, save a welcome tree and vote with your smart phone! Bribes not accepted. Winners Announced Closing Night. This year we're celebrating 10 years of amazing and fantastic love between the hip, legend- ary film audiences of Boulder and the very best of international film. You’ll be seeing many of these films on new-state-of-the art DCP technology, courtesy of long-time sponsor, RealD, who has also donated a big screen they engineered using their own groundbreaking technol- ogy. It’s new, it’s hot, and we cannot wait to see the first 3D film ever to be screened at the Boulder Theater! (Mr. Hublot - in Shorts Program) On opening night, we're thrilled to host a pre-release screening of one of the funniest, most- talked-about films of 2014, Fading Gigolo, starring John Turturro as a middle-aged man who becomes an "escort." Woody Allen plays his pimp. Turturro wrote this film, and he gives Allen one of his best acting roles in decades. On Friday night, Valentine's Day, we have created a spectacular new event called a "Foovie" (food and movie) with French appetizers, sparkling wine and chocolate, accompanied by a screening of the hit French movie, Le Chef, a luscious, flavorful restaurant film winning hearts in France. The Foovie is at eTown Hall, so there are only 200 tickets; we’ll host a drawing to win a $10,000 pair of one-of-a-kind earrings by Todd Reed. Très fabuleaux! For the first time ever at BIFF, we will present an amazing interactive event that unites modern technology and activism—the Global Town Hall. Focusing on the BIFF film God Loves Uganda, eTown founder Nick Forster will moderate a discussion that brings together festival goers, experts and lively participants from around the world for our first live streaming event and discussion on the disturbing international trend towards anti-gay legislation. During our closing night celebration and BIFF’s 10th birthday party, we will present the hot new film Tim's Vermeer, a documentary by Penn & Teller that has been named by some critics as one of the 10 Best Films of 2013. In it, Tim Jenison, an inventor, attempts to solve page one of the greatest mysteries in all art: How did Vermeer manage to paint so realistically? We left are thrilled to host the visionary himself, Tim Jenison, and the film's producer, Farley Ziegler, blank at the Festival. intentionally Bringing the Festival to life every year takes the remarkable time, effort and love of our 400+ enthusiastic volunteers and the unprecedented outpouring of support from Boulder’s busi- ness, corporate and philanthropic communities. They all deserve our heartfelt gratitude. Audiences, we have an absolute feast for you this year and we look forward to greeting you throughout the Festival. It’ll be a grand Valentine’s weekend you’ll never forget!

  • I'm a Sicilian American
    I’m a Sicilian American Dedicated to my parents Gaetano and Rosa Alessi Coniglio and my eldest brother Guy , who came to America in 1913 and 1914 from Serradifalco, SICILY . I’m a Sicilian American. I’m a Sicilian American. I’m the son of immigrants who left a land of history and beauty, of poets and dreamers, volcanoes and olive trees. A land that taught the world what a modern nation could be, before most modern nations existed. A land that formed the largest country, The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies , from Naples and Abruzzo to Messina and Palermo, that was subsumed into the new ‘Kingdom of Italy’ after the ‘unification’. My parents left because for all its lore and loveliness, and their fierce pride in it, Sicily was poor and demeaned, and could offer little hope for their family’s future. I’m a Sicilian American. My heritage includes mythical Persephone, Vulcan, and Icarus; Greek scholars Archimedes, Empedocles and Diodorus Siculus; composers Bellini and Scarlatti, and writers Verga and Sciascia. I’m a Sicilian American. I’m Antonio Crisafi. I came before there was a United States and in 1696 commanded the fort at Onondaga. I’m Padre Saverio Saetta, who died in 1695 while bringing Christianity to the New World. I’m Enrico Fardella, who fought against the Bourbons in Sicily, one of the first people’s revolutions in Europe, in 1848, and then became a brigadier general in America’s Civil War. I’m a Sicilian American. I’m a descendant of Southern Italian immigrants who formed 80% of the ‘Italians’ who came to America in the ‘Great Migration’ of the late 1800s and early 1900s, most, from the island of Sicily.

A central theme running throughout the collection is law, broadly, and the ways in which people adhere to or sometimes break from a particular rule, be it social or legislative. In each case, the role of law and its correlation to place and identity—either overt or veiled— serves as a major component of each story.

Without question, the 2009 “…into the garden” Benefit Tour was the highlight of the year. On behalf of all the Friends, I want to again thank the Women of the An Family for their generosity and friendship, the homeowners who so graciously opened their gardens for our guests and Benefit Tour Grand Marshal, Jim Jahant. Gala Chairman, Kerstin Royce and Benefit Tour Chairmen, Jeanne Anderson and Sunday Taylor are also to be commended for their talented management and gracious spirit throughout the entire Benefit Season. In an event as complex as ours, the list of thank you’s could fill the page, but I do want to extend my sincerest gratitude to all of the Friends for their hard work, to Tim Lindsay and his staff, to the County and to Bianca Costin, Events Coordinator for the Friends; without you we could not do it. As we start the new season and leave the old, we are ever mindful of our beginnings. In 1982, The Friends of Robinson Gardens was founded. Its mission was to support and underwrite the house and gardens, to provide ongoing community education and to initiate new and innovative plans to maintain the estate for future generations.
