(Apr 04, 2005) Aspen Shortsfest Embraces International Work for 14th Edition
Short subject enthusiasts and filmmakers from around the world will descend on the tony ski resort of Aspen April 6-10 for the 14th edition of Aspen Shortsfest. An international line up of work, including 65 works from 27 countries will participate in the competition this year, vying for $20,000 in cash and other prizes. The festival will open at the local Wheeler Opera House with its fourth annual "Local Filmmaker Showcase," a free program showcasing local talent of all ages. Brian Brooks reports.

(Apr 13, 2004) Aspen Shortsfest Provides a Brilliant Peak Into Oft-Overlooked Art Form
The 60-odd shorts at this 13th annual Aspen Shortsfest were whittled down by the selecting committee from 1500 entries, so they ought to be pretty good, and we were blessed with quite a few of the winners from the film world's more press-tigious festivals. We had Cannes's "Cracker Bag," Sundance's "Bathtime at Clerkenwell," and -- the piece de resistance -- the Academy Award winner "Harvie Krumpet." Not that these were chosen for their palm fronds or golden statues. Those films, and most of the films at Aspen, truly represent the overlooked art of the short film. Marlowe Fawcett reports.
