For an insider look at how festivals are pivoting, we’ve invited the Atlanta Film Society’s executive Director Chris Escobar to share his perspective, plus a sneak preview of the 45th edition of the Atlanta Film Festival, now underway. Learn about the not-to-be-missed films and innovative experiences of ATLFF, plus an outlook on where the industry goes from here during a year of transition.
