Oscar Sneak Peek

“This year’s Academy Screenings has a powerhouse lineup, not only in terms of directors, but also in terms of actors,” says Aspen Film executive director Laura Thielen. “However, alongside these marquee-value films, we also have films like Soderbergh’s Che, with Benicio Del Toro, or the French film The Class, which won the top award at the Cannes Film Festival in May and is just opening in New York and L.A. on the 26th of December.”
