atlanta film festival starts this week!

“Since 1977, the Atlanta Film & Video Festival, organized by IMAGE and held at the High Museum of Art, IMAGE and other venues, has dispensed thousands of dollars worth of awards to artists and has grown into one of the most important “artists’ festivals” in the country.”

The 2009 Atlanta Film Festival begins in only two days and this year’s lineup has got me so excited I can hardly contain myself! The festival lasts from April 16-25, and all screenings will occur at the Landmark Midtown Art Cinema on Monroe Drive.

I’ve just finished scouring the site to assemble my personal festival schedule (they’ve even got a handy tool that I used to synch with my Outlook calendar). Honestly, there were lots more that I wanted to see than what I ended up with, but alas, time and budget won’t permit. 

Here are my picks:

Friday, April 17th
10:30 PM Animation Extravaganza 1

11:00 PM Squeezebox

Saturday, April 18th
12:00 PM Prom Night In Mississippi

9:55 PM Documentary Shorts 1

Sunday, April 19th
