Notes from a Festival Programmer: Listing Awards and Fests Played When Emailing Festivals

As a programmer for the Atlanta Film Festival, we get many, many emails every week, if not every day, during submission time. It’s an expected part of the job. What’s a little bit irksome isn’t the amount of emails, it’s more often the lack of useful information. Take this as an example: I’m a **********student [Read More]

Notes from a festival programmer: A film synopsis should never start with “The film begins when…”

In my four years at the Atlanta Film Festival there are some things, peripherally as communications director and now directly as a programmer, I’ve run into time and time again with submissions.

The Film is a Ghost: An Encounter With “General Orders No. 9”

The Film is a Ghost: An Encounter With “General Orders No. 9”

The notion that General Orders No. 9 is a ghost was born from the necessity to communicate at once the mystery it preserves, the perspective it exhibits, and the polarized reactions it will continue to yield. For some, this equation reinforces their belief that the film is a transparent spook; they can see right through [Read More]
