About
Atlanta Movie Awards
Atlanta Movie Awards welcomes you to our 1st edition! An event organized for both independent filmmakers and cinema-goers who love to discover niche films and artists. The festival’s judges and programmers come from different film backgrounds and are eager to put together an exciting and truly high- quality program of indie films. The festival’s aim is to discover new talent, films and filmmakers with potential, and to recognize the collaborative work this art form is funded on. The program will focus on independent films of different genres, with no limitations on length, style or country of origin. The festival is open to everyone regardless of budget and experience. The festival is run in association with a collection of international film festivals supporting indie filmmaking. By establishing a working network with filmmakers, producers and marketing professionals, we share one common goal: to forge productive and lasting relationships between independent filmmakers and audiences.
