Help Us Raise #40Kin40days to Bring Filmmakers to Atlanta for ATLFF '16!
It is our 3rd year running a Kickstarter campaign, but its our 40th birthday, so we have to do it bigger than ever! Help us raise money for our travel budget so that all filmmakers can attend next year's festival.

A special message for our members (and those who might like to be members)
Today we're sending out a message to our members encouraging them to renew their memberships for 2014 as part of our Kickstarter campaign. This post contains additional information in long form that we didn't think was appropriate to dump into our members' inboxes. If you're not a member, you're welcome to check it out to see what we're up to. Our members get year-round invitations to advance screenings and other perks, as well as all-you-can-watch movies at the annual Festival in the Spring.
ATLFF Members Get Free Tickets To Directors Series
Membership has its privileges, right? Well in this case they're some pretty darn good privileges. Not only do ATLFF members get to watch all the movies they want at the Festival in the Spring, we're also opening all of our remaining Fall Focus on Directors screenings to members as well.
