Atlanta Film Festival now taking submissions!
Our friends from ASIFA-Atlanta want you to send your animation to the Atlanta Film Festival! What are you waiting for?
See below for all info!
Now in its fourth decade, the Atlanta Film Festival—one of only two-dozen Academy Award® qualifying festivals in the U.S.—is one of the nation’s preeminent celebrations of cinema. The Atlanta Film Festival is also one of the largest and longest-running festivals in the country, showcasing 200+ new independent, international, animated, documentary, and short films. For the 2013 Atlanta Film Festival, 220 films were selected from 2800+ submissions submitted from over 100 countries.
As you may have guessed, t’s that time of year again! We have started accepting animated film submissions for the 2014 Atlanta Film Festival! We know you may be asking, “Why should I care?” Well…
For starters, we are an Oscar-qualifying festival for animated shorts meaning the film that wins our competition will be eligible to be placed on the Oscar Shorts list. We are HUGE fans of animated films. By fans, we mean we play everything from the silly to kid-friendly, to avant-garde – everything.
We’re working with our local ASIFA chapter to not only find great content, but to continue building our animation track for our Cinformation seminar series.
We are HUGE fans of animated films! Wait, didn’t you just say that? YES, WE DID. But we just wanted to make sure you knew that we hadfive programs that included animation in the 2013 festival. And by the way, we have added a section for Puppetry for the 2014 festival! That’s right; Atlanta is a puppet town and ATLFF wants to be known as a “puppet friendly” festival.
We’d love it if you’d share this information with your network and spread the word as much as possible. If there is any place that we can post this on our own, please let us know!
