Discover the films we'll play at ATLFF 2015: become a screening volunteer.
Every year, the Atlanta Film Festival receives thousands of film entries from artists around the globe. From these hopefuls we have only the capacity to play fewer than 300 films. How do we decide which films to play? How do we go through those thousands of entries to sort the ones that will please our local audience the best? We get help from people like you.
