Area Events: the 2012 Atlanta Film Festival

The Atlanta Film Festival returns this week, kicking off with an opening night celebration this Friday night at Paris on Ponce. Look for some changes this year: lower pass prices, a music video bloc, live joint-venture music performances, and a move back to Landmark Midtown Art Cinema for the majority of screenings, among other things.

Over 175 films (incl. animation, shorts, and indie features) in 10 days. Visit Atlanta Film Festival's website for more info.
