An annual summer hit, Denver Film Society’s (DFS) Film on the Rocks is a three-course meal of entertainment, whereby one can indulge in a little bit of everything — film, music and comedy. Set to launch this Friday, May 10, with a showing of Titanic, Film on the Rocks has rounded out its lineup adding local musicians and comedians to the scores of the nights.
