Overview

The Atlanta Global Film Festival is a new Atlanta-based festival dedicated to independent filmmaking, giving filmmakers from around the world a platform to present short and feature-length work across multiple categories.[1] It is notable for its international scope and for positioning itself within Atlanta’s growing film ecosystem, though it does not yet have the long-running industry stature of the city’s established Atlanta Film Festival.[1]
