Colorado's heady bid to become film capital of the world. Hundreds of films were shot in the Rocky Mountains between 1897 and 1914, of which, only a few survive. Witness the birth of the American film industry, pre-Hollywood, through archival photos and films. Highlights include clips from:
* Festival of Mountain and Plain 1897

* Pirate of the Plains, 1914
* films by Thomas Edison, the Lumière Brothers and George Méliés
