Each autumn in the Rockies, Aspen Film hosts the Aspen FilmFest, a full week of screenings. They have a ShortsFest each spring. 

From their website: "Since 1979 
Aspen Film 
has been creating unique and memorable experiences for both the serious cinephile and casual movie lover.

With a reach that stretches through the Roaring Fork Valley, Aspen Film organizes a major movie event in every season, offers an extensive education program, and hosts numerous special presentations. Each year, some 30,000 people participate.

We are committed to original content. All of the more than 200 films we show annually are regional debuts, many of which might not otherwise be available to local audiences.

We offer one-of-a-kind enrichment opportunities through our educational outreach. Appealing to youth and adults, 90 percent of these programs are offered at no charge.

We host more than 100 film artists and other special guests every year. Additionally, we collaborate with organizations locally and nationally to put on quality film programs."
