The Boulder International Film Festival returns this year between February 14th and 17th.

Last year, it screened five Oscar-nominated films including Monsieur Lazhar, Incident in New Baghdad, Pentecost, Raju and Fantastic Flying Books of Mr Morris Lessmore, so movie lovers can be assured of its pedigree.

The 2013 festival promises to be equally exciting and tickets for a number of screenings are still available to buy.

It is an easy task to get to the venue for anyone who is staying at the Millennium Harvest House Boulder, as it is only 1.5 miles away.

The journey down Canyon Boulevard and Folsom Street only takes five minutes in a car, meaning that a taxi there and back will be cheap enough.

Alternatively, the distance between the two can be covered in just under half an hour by cutting along the picturesque Boulder Creek Path.
