For Denver’s independent film lovers, when it rains, it pours.
At the end of last week, the Landmark Chez Artiste in University Hills announced that it will close its doors for good after Thursday, Aug. 8.
The news comes shortly after the shuttering of the Landmark Esquire Theatre, one of the city’s bastions for independent and late-night cinema, on July 18.
In a statement from Landmark President Kevin Holloway when he broke the news about the Esquire’s imminent redevelopment, he said: “Landmark’s renowned Mayan Theatre, Chez Artiste, and The Landmark at Greenwood Village will remain open and continue to serve the area.”
