ATLFF is going live with filmmakers slated to play at the 44th Atlanta Film Festival! Each year ATLFF has the pleasure of presenting 11 days worth of films from talented filmmakers across the globe. As a festival, we look to provide a platform where audiences can connect with a plethora of groundbreaking works. In anticipation of our 2020 festival, we are delighted to present our latest interview series!

Over the course of the upcoming weeks, ATLFF will be hosting interviews with filmmakers from our 2020 official selections moderated by Karen Ceesay. Each interview will provide you with a behind the scenes look into the upcoming festival and the films we program.

Join us Thursday, July 2nd at 7 PM EST for an interview with filmmaker Hector Valdez as we discuss his film Malpaso.

Cándido and Braulio are twin brothers growing up near the border of Haiti in the Dominican Republic. While Braulio helps Gueguelo, their grandfather, sell coal in the border market of Malpaso, Cándido leads a lonely existence since he needs to stay home secluded due to his albinism. Their life takes an unexpected turn for the worst after Gueguelo's sudden death, and Braulio will now need to look after his brother by making ends meet in Malpaso, all the while Cándido dreams of the return of their absent father.
