41st Annual Atlanta Film Festival
Now celebrating a 41-year history, the Atlanta Film Festival (ATLFF) is the area’s preeminent celebration of cinema. One of only two dozen Academy Award-qualifying events in the country, the Atlanta Film Festival showcases over 200 films annually to nearly 25,000 attendees across a ten day event each spring. This year, the Atlanta Film Festival received over 6,000 submissions from 120 countries across the globe. It has been distinguished as the ‘Best Film Festival’ by Creative Loafing, Sunday Paper, 10Best and Atlanta Magazine, as well as one of the ’25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World’ and one of ’50 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee’ by MovieMaker Magazine.
Primary venues include the Plaza Atlanta, 7 Stages, and Highland Inn Ballroom Lounge.
