It’s hard to imagine the city without such a crucial cultural anchor — one that in some ways eclipses older, beloved cinematic institutions, the Atlanta Film Festival and Out On Film.
So why in the world does the AJFF want to expand its programming to span the year, in addition to its hectic 23-day schedule of films, panel discussions and special appearances by filmmakers during the winter months? You’d think its staff would want a little rest.
