ACES’ 7th Annual Wild & Scenic Film Festival

ACES is thrilled to host the seventh annual Wild & Scenic Film Festival on Tuesday, March 15, and Wednesday, March 16. These two special evenings will showcase internationally acclaimed short films that both inform and inspire attendees to take action.

Proceeds from the event benefit ACES' Tomorrow's Voices program, which provides civics and environmental leadership education to regional high school students. The mission of Tomorrow's Voices is to cultivate responsible citizenship and ethical leadership in the youth of the Roaring Fork Valley. This event is presented annually in memory of Willard Clapper. 

The first event will take place on Tuesday, March 15 at the Wheeler Opera House in Aspen. Doors will open at 6:00 pm and films will start at 6:30 pm. Tickets are $15. The short films this evening will focus on adventure and advocacy. We encourage guests to purchase tickets in advance, as this event sells out every year!

The second night will take place on Wednesday, March 16 at The Arts Campus at Willits (TACAW). The doors will open at 6:00 pm and the films will start at 7:00 pm. The short films this evening will explore the theme - "Our Food Future."
