REELated:
IFTA produces the annual American Film Market (AFM), which serves as the annual fundraiser for the association. Its 43rd edition, is currently underway in Santa Monica and will conclude on Sunday, November 6.
AFM 2022 is especially significant because it is the Independents’ market – founded by Independents, focused on their business, and operating without government support. It is the showcase for this industry, which you are all a part of.
