Return of Shortsfest

media coverage

Aspen Shortsfest returns with an in-person audience after two years of distance

After two years without an in-person audience, Aspen Shortsfest kicked off Tuesday evening with a packed crowd at Wheeler Opera House.

“It was really hard being virtual for the last few years,” Susan Wrubel, executive and artist director of Aspen Film, told the audience. “I do think there’s a real difference with everybody being here together in the dark sharing these stories from around the world.”

About one-third of the 77 films are new for the majority of the audience in Aspen. Twelve have never been seen in the United States, five are debuting for North America and another nine are making their world premieres.

By the end of the festival, five of the films will qualify for next year’s Oscars.

As late-arriving attendees picked up their Audience Choice ballots at the door, Shortsfest programming director Jason Anderson introduced the opening-night menu of movies.

“You got some 180 degree turns between films … a selection of comedies and dramas, an amazing animation and documentary,” he said. “You’ll be seeing this kind of diversity of work with all of our 11 programs this week.”
