FacebookTwitter

Perfectly scheduled during the breathtaking fall season, the Aspen Filmfest is intended to satisfy everyone’s visual taste buds. Founded in 1979 by Ellen Kohner Hunt, the Aspen Filmfest is an annual short film festival held in Aspen, Colorado. The organization has been creating extraordinary experiences for both the cinephile and casual moviegoers of all tastes and ages.

Going by the catchphrase “Independent By Nature”, it aims to enlighten, enrich, educate, and entertain through film. It’s a noncompetitive, non-profit festival presenting a big-screen celebration of award-winning narrative and documentary features, and a lively mix of acclaimed independent filmmakers from around the world. This year’s event will happen on TBD 2023.
