The state’s western landscapes can be seen in movies like The Hateful Eight and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.   \nThen there’s the famous scene in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in which Paul Newman and Robert Redford leap off the edge of a cliff into the rushing river below. That scene was filmed near Durango, above the Animas River.   \nRobert Redford famously spent a lot of time in Boulder. And actors like Don Cheadle and Pam Grier have all come from Colorado.    \nThis summer, the first-ever Colorado 150 Film Festival will celebrate these movies and actors with screenings of 150 films being shown in 35 independent theaters across the state. It’s also a celebration of the state’s 150th anniversary on Aug. 1.  \nErin O'Toole spoke earlier this year with one of the festival’s organizers, Rob DuRay, about the festival – and where Colorado’s film industry might go from here. As Colorado prepares to mark its 150th birthday tomorrow, this is one of several conversations about the state's history we'll reshare in the coming days. \nThe Colorado 150 Film Festival kicked off in June and continues through November. View the full lineup of films and venues.\n* * * * *\nSign up for the In The NoCo newsletter: Visit KUNC.org\nQuestions? Feedback? Story ideas? Email us: NOCO@KUNC.org\nLike what you're hearing?
