The 34th Annual Aspen Filmfest (October 2 -7, 2012) brings together a unique and intimate selection of films. It was recently announced that Ben Affleck’s new dramatic thriller, Argo -- about the secrets behind an Iranian hostage crisis -- will be the closing night feature of the festival.

Established in 1979, the Aspen Filmfest brings together acclaimed films from the Festival de Cannes, Sundance Film Festival and Berlin International Film Festival at the Wheeler Opera House (320 E Hyman Ave, Aspen CO).

Other films being shown include:

• The Matchmaker
• Like Crazy (Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner)
• Building Hope (Conversation with director Turk and Christy Pipkin follows)
• These Amazing Shadows (Conversation with co-director Kurt Norton follows)
• The Women on the 6th Floor
• Wild Horse, Wild Ride (Conversation with directors Alex Dawson and Greg Gricus follows)
• Young Goethe in Love
• Take Shelter
• Hermano
• Somewhere Between
• Romantics Anonymous
• Salt of Life

Continuing a Filmfest tradition, on Friday September 23, there will be a screening of a special mystery film that will not be revealed until the film starts playing.

Says Aspen FilmFest Executive Director Kip Hubbard, "Whether you're a local movie maven or a film loving visitor, what a perfect time to enjoy Aspen Filmfest and all the Roaring Fork Valley has to offer. With fall colors exploding, and some truly astonishing cinema, we're expecting this year's festival to be one of our best ever."
