Alec Baldwin will sit for a recorded career conversation at the Boulder Theater during the Boulder International Film Festival; tickets and festival dates are included
The acclaimed actor Alec Baldwin will be the featured guest at a live, career-retrospective conversation during the upcoming Boulder International film festival. The talk is scheduled to begin at 7:45 pm on Saturday, April 11 at the historic Boulder Theater, and the conversation will be captured as an episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast. According to festival notices, tickets go on sale on Friday, March 13 at BIFF1.com, offering fans a chance to hear firsthand reflections from one of Hollywood’s most versatile performers.
This appearance is framed as an intimate, career-focused discussion — a format that invites storytelling and reflection rather than a simple promotional appearance. Attendees should expect a mix of anecdotes, behind-the-scenes recollections and probing questions about the arc of a long career. Because the event will also be recorded, the conversation will reach a broader audience after the festival through the podcast format, preserving moments that might otherwise be fleeting in a live setting.
The program promises an engaging mix of memories and insights, with the interviewer guiding a discussion that examines both memorable roles and the craft behind them. Listeners will likely hear about Baldwin’s early rise in film, his transition to television, and the decisions that shaped his professional path. The live format at the Boulder Theater encourages spontaneous exchanges and audience interaction, while the recorded element ensures that particularly compelling segments will be archived for future listeners of Awards Chatter.
The session will be recorded on-site with audio quality and editorial standards suitable for a national podcast release. As part of an onstage interview, Baldwin will respond to prepared questions and may take audience queries, creating a dynamic that blends structured storytelling with in-the-moment reactions. Fans attending in person will also witness the editorial decisions that go into shaping a podcast episode, from follow-up prompts to the rhythm of a conversation intended for both live and digital audiences.
Over nearly five decades, Alec Baldwin has built a diverse filmography that includes breakout and iconic titles. His notable early work features films such as Beetlejuice (1988), Working Girl (1988), Married to the Mob (1988) and The Hunt for Red October (1990). Subsequent credits span acclaimed ensemble pieces and dramatic turns: Glengarry Glen Ross (1992), Ghosts of Mississippi (1996), The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), Pearl Harbor (2001), and an Oscar-nominated lead in The Cooler (2003). Later film appearances include The Aviator (2004), The Departed (2006), It’s Complicated (2009), To Rome with Love (2012), Blue Jasmine (2013), Still Alice (2014) and Motherless Brooklyn (2019).
While many first encountered Baldwin on the big screen, his television work has earned him even broader recognition. He has hosted Saturday Night Live a record 17 times and received an Emmy for his impression of Donald Trump, and his portrayal of Jack Donaghy on 30 Rock garnered multiple honors: two Emmys, three Golden Globes and seven acting awards. He also co-hosted the Oscars in 2010, underscoring a profile that spans both dramatic performance and mainstream entertainment.
Baldwin’s creative life extends beyond screen roles. He hosts the interview podcast Here’s The Thing, presents a nationally syndicated radio program called The New York Philharmonic This Week, and frequently appears as a guest host on Turner Classic Movies. He co-chairs the board of the Hamptons International Film Festival, helping to program its SummerDocs series, and is known as a generous patron of the arts. These pursuits contribute to his reputation as a multifaceted cultural figure rather than a performer confined to one medium.
Practical details for potential attendees: the 22nd annual Boulder International Film Festival is scheduled to run April 9-12, with Baldwin’s interview set for 7:45 pm on Saturday, April 11 at the Boulder Theater. Tickets go on sale Friday, March 13 via BIFF1.com. Because the event will be recorded for The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter, seating and access may be coordinated to accommodate both a live audience and production needs, so prospective attendees should consult the festival site for ticket types and any recording-related announcements.
