Denver Jewish Film Fest, Mexican beer and sweets, a rainbow open-skate and more things to do in Denver
A sweet tooth for Mexican-inspired beer
Saturday. Bring your sweet tooth to Cervecería Colorado for a pan dulce and beer pairing. The brewery, a subsidiary of Denver Beer Co., will be serving Mexican-inspired beers to help wash down the tantalizing flavors of five different confections from Panaderia Rosales, a local institution.
“Think berries and churros, apples and lime, caramel and poblanos,” read the event announcement. It runs Feb. 19 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Cerveceria Colorado, 1635 Platte St., Denver. Tickets cost $25 at events.denverbeerco.com. — Tiney Ricciardi
Oh, My Stars! skates back to Rollerdome
Friday. If you haven’t been inside a roller skating rink in a spell (or ever), consider Oh My Stars! A Monthly Skate Date, the art-centric experience that mashes zodiac themes with pop-up art, local DJs, colorful merch and a photo booth.
The pop-up produced by Rainbow Dome (a.k.a. acclaimed Denver artists Therin Zimmerman and Frankie Toan) returns Friday, Feb. 18, for an Aquarius-themed outing inside the Rollerdome, home of the Denver Roller Derby and Rocky Mountain Rollergirls. More nights are scheduled on the third Fridays of every month.
It runs 2-10 p.m. at 2375 South Delaware St. Tickets: $10 online, $15 at the door. Skate rentals (kids sizes through men’s size 14) are included with entry but only available on a first-come, first-served basis. Visit bit.ly/3rV73yd or rainbowdome.com for more. — John Wenzel
Denver Jewish Film Fest, two ways
Through March 1. The Denver Jewish Film Festival is back for its 26th year, and movie buffs can attend in-person theater screenings as part of the multi-week lineup. Buzzworthy titles include “I Am Here,” a documentary that follows 98-year-old Holocaust survivor Ella Blumenthal’s extraordinary life; and “Kiss Me Kosher,” a romantic comedy about a same-sex couple crossing cultural boundaries.
Sixteen movie screenings will take place in person at The Elaine Wolf Theatre at the Staenberg-Loup Jewish Community Center (350 S. Dahlia St., Denver), while an additional 10 movies will be available for fans to watch virtually starting Wednesday, Feb. 23. Find festival passes and individual screening tickets ($13-$15 each) at djff.eventive.org. — Tiney Ricciardi

Side Stories winding down in RiNo
Through Sunday. You’ve only got a couple of days left to take in Side Stories, the film-projection festival that started on Feb. 11 and covers various walls in the River North Art District. This fourth edition gathers five Denver filmmakers for a variety of experimental, narrative, live-action and animated shorts — all viewable outside for free.
