CAPS Boulder Film Friends presents Chasing Childhood on April 24

Did you know the Sundance Film Festival is coming to Boulder in 2027?

To help residents get ready for this momentous cultural event, the Cultural Arts & Public Spaces (CAPS) advisory committee is hosting a free monthly independent film series in 2026.

The CAPS Boulder Film Friends in Superior screenings will showcase independent films that have premiered at past Sundance Film Festivals, Cannes Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival, LA Film Festival and more, creating opportunities for the community to gather and enjoy acclaimed cinema.

Up next? "Chasing Childhood," a feature length documentary that explores how free play and independence have all but disappeared from kids’ lives, supplanted by relentless perfectionism leading to record rates of anxiety and depression.

"Chasing Childhood" Friday, April 24 Film begins at 6 p.m. Superior Civic Space 2250 Main St., Suite 1001 Language: English Runtime: 85 minutes Rating: NR
