Centennial Statehouse: Colorado’s Greatest Treasure
Feb. 3, 2012 – 6 p.m. – Colorado Convention Center
Denver (Dec. 12, 2011)—Colorado Preservation, Inc. announced today that Centennial Statehouse: Colorado’s Greatest Treasure, a new film by Havey Productions, will premiere at 6 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 3, 2012 at the Colorado Convention Center during the 2012 Saving Places Conference. All proceeds from this event will support distribution of the film to more than 1800 Colorado schools and libraries and will help support the Share in the Care Colorado campaign to restore the capitol dome.
“The general public is invited to this fundraising film premiere that celebrates Colorado and showcases the magnificent history of our State Capitol,” Colorado Preservation Inc.’s conference coordinator Nicole Moore said. “Jim Havey’s compelling documentaries really bring to life historic structures and we are very excited to close our annual historic preservation conference with the debut of this new film.”
“Our State Capitol is an iconic symbol reflecting the past, present and future of all Coloradans,” Director Jim Havey said. “This film takes you behind the scenes and tells the stories of the people who built and have worked in this magnificent building. It is a story that inspires a deep appreciation for Colorado’s history, from the turbulent territorial era and the protracted process of constructing a Capitol building, to the distinctive adornments utilizing glass, marble, bronze, textile and pigment to form unique portraits of the people and events that influenced the state’s development.”
Havey Productions is producing the film with partial funding from the State Historical Fund of History Colorado. Production Sponsors include AT&T , Colorado Office of Film, Television and Media, Colorado Humanities, Anglo Gold Ashanti North America, Inc. , Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company, Inc., Linda Boden, Historic Denver, Inc., Colorado Preservation, Inc. and Circuit Media.
