Fortune and glory — with a Colorado twist. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade sent Indy across three continents chasing the Holy Grail, but some of the most thrilling moments were filmed right here at home. That breathless chase scene? Shot on the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad. The exteriors? Alamosa, Pagosa Springs, and a house in Antonito standing in for Indy’s Utah home. Colorado played Utah so convincingly that most viewers never knew. Harrison Ford. Sean Connery. A tank. A leap of faith. One of the greatest adventure films ever made, and our own backyard doing what it does best — stealing the scene.

About the Colorado 150 Film Festival

Colorado turns 150 this year — and we’re marking it with the biggest cinematic celebration the state has ever seen. 150 films. 150 screenings. Historic venues from the mountains to the plains. Watched together, in person, the way movies are meant to be seen.

The CO150 Film Festival is a collection of the best cinema ever made in Colorado, about Colorado, or by Coloradans — past and present. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. And it’s a genuinely good excuse to get off the couch.
