Films on the Side: Hocus Pocus
2015-10-30 19:00 - 21:00 | Popups Example
Starring Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, Sarah Jessica Parker. Directed by Kenny Ortega.
After Denver Public Library’s 2nd Annual Trick or Treat Street, catch their outdoor showing of the cult film and holiday classic Hocus Pocus. “Since 1993, the Disney film Hocus Pocus has been a perennial Halloween favorite, scaring up a new batch of children every year. Starring Midler, Najimy and Parker as a trio of evil witches known as the Sanderson Sisters, the film is a kitschy gem. Through countless showings on TV, and soaring DVD sales (which peak every October), it has become the cult favorite scary movie for a generation of kids. But how did a film, which flopped at the box office and got middling reviews became so beloved and financially successful? Like many cult films, it took a winding path that relied on staunch fans and invaluable TV reruns. The witchy little flick had all the right elements: big-name stars, a campy concept and a PG script that flirted with PG-13 jokes.” – Yohana Desta, mashable.com. 96 minutes. Rated PG.
This free event will take place on Acoma Plaza (near the west entrance of the Central Library) at dusk.

The complete film will be shown on large suspended screens for the full Symphony at the Movies experience. (CO Symphony)

Día de los Muertos at Denver Botanic Gardens
2015-11-01 09:00 - 17:00 | Denver Botanic Gardens, 1007 York Street, Denver, CO, 80206, United States
Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a traditional Mexican celebration in which death is recognized as a natural part of the cycle of life. More than 500 years ago, when the Conquistadors came to what we know as Mexico, they stumbled upon the Aztec Indians practicing a ritual that seemed to mock death. It wasn’t mockery, but rather, a joyful remembrance of those who had died. For more than 3,000 years the tradition of celebrating life after death has endured.
To make this ritual more Christian, the Spaniards moved the dates to coincide with All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day (Nov. 1 and 2). It is believed that on these dates, the spirits of the dead visit their families.
Today, Día de los Muertos is celebrated in Mexico and certain parts of Central and North America. On this day people create altars in their homes, they clean and decorate the gravesites of lost loved ones and prepare special foods. They attend mass, and come together to sing, dance and eat, all in remembrance of those who have left this earth. They are never forgotten and therefore, will never truly die.
Schedule of Activities:
9 a.m. – 5 p.m. | Craft and Food Vendors
9 a.m. – 5 p.m. | Altar Showcase
10 a.m. – 3 p.m. | Face Painting (additional fee)

Logan Lecture: Petah Coyne
2015-11-04 18:00 - 19:30 | Denver Art Museum, 100 W 14th Ave Pkwy, Denver, 80204, United States
About Artist Petah Coyne: Petah Coyne’s sculptures convey tension between vulnerability and aggression, innocence and seduction, beauty and decadence, and, ultimately, life and death. Existing between the boundaries of figuration and abstraction, they incorporate unconventional materials such as tree roots, sand, human hair, scrap metal, silk flowers, Velcro, religious statuary, and taxidermy. She thinks of her sculpture as bodies in movement thus linking the installations to her photography, which also captures bodies in movement. (DAM)
Doors open at 5:30 pm; Lecture 6-7:30 pm.
Meet the Artist: DAM Contemporaries invites you to an après-lecture reception with the artist immediately following each lecture, at MAD Wine Bar. Enjoy conversations with some of the hottest artists working today, along with complimentary snacks and a cash bar.
Lecture Tickets: $8 volunteers, $12 DAMC members and artists, $15 DAM members, $18 nonmembers, students free with valid student ID.

2015-11-04 19:00 - 20:30 | Denver Museum of Nature and Science, 2001 Colorado Blvd., Denver, CO, 80205, United States
Two species emerged on the African savannas 5 to 7 million years ago: the ancestor of modern elephants and an upright walking ape who eventually gave rise to the elephant’s most feared hunter, Homo sapiens. Although each lineage spread out of the continent and diversified around the world, today we question whether these two animals can continue to live side-by-side. Join biologist Shermin de Silva as she shares her unique research on elephant conservation. Her story will be enhanced by immersive global satellite images of elephant range countries. (DMNS.org)

Creative Mornings: Laleh Mehran
2015-11-06 08:30 - 10:00 | University of Denver Anderson Academic Commons, 2150 E. Evans Avenue, Denver, CO, 80210, United States
Creative Mornings = inspiring speaker + free breakfast + free coffee + networking
About the Speaker: Laleh Mehran creates experiential art. Her process for making artwork involves both “art” + “work.” Lots of work! It’s in this process of making that ideas can shift, visuals can expand, and production methods can improve – all enhancing the final artwork.
Issues revolving around dissent and exile are of particular interest and concern to Laleh Mehran. The progeny of Iranian scientists, her relationship to these subjects is necessarily complex, and is still more so now given a political climate in which certain views are increasingly suspect. Mehran’s research, often modeled on and about the very ideas of science and technology, takes advantage of their cultural importance in order to articulate a set of ideas which require precisely these kinds of mediations from both political and religious intolerance.
