Aspen Filmfest unveiled seven titles that will screen during its 32nd edition, including titles from Sundance, Toronto, SXSW, Dallas, Hot Docs, Los Angeles SilverDocs and Cleveland film festivals.
Sundance favorite “Blue Valentine” by Derek Cianfrance, which will screen at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival is on tap as well as the UK/Australian film, “The King’s Speech” by Tom Hooper. Jeff Malmberg’s SXSW-winner, “Marwencol,” also joins the lineup in addition to Jake Scott’s “Welcome to the Rileys,” Mark Landsman’s “Thunder Soul” and J. Clay Tweel’s “Make Believe.” As previously announced, Sam Taylor-Wood’s “Nowhere Boy” will open the festival. The film, starring Kristin Scott Thomas and Aaron Johnson depicts the events and personal circumstances that led to the formation of The Beatles—specifically, the underlying family currents that shaped the creative and inspirational qualities of John Lennon during his crucial formative teenage years.
The full Aspen Filmfest lineup will be announced September 8th.
The seven films joining the 32nd Aspen Filmfest with descriptions provided by the festival:
“Welcome to the Rileys” (USA) 2010, Director: Jake Scott

Years after a family tragedy, Lois and Doug Riley remain mired in grief but cope in very different ways. Nuanced performances from three consummate actors infuse this emotionally true, gently humorous drama with surprising humanity.
