Film Festival Submissions - Atlanta Film Series

For 17 years, Atlanta Shortsfest has championed independent filmmakers with stories full of heart, humor, and originality. It’s the original Atlanta short film festival and still the place where great shorts get discovered.

In its 23rd year, AUFF continues to celebrate the weird, the raw, and the fearless. This festival gives a platform to films that live outside the mainstream and keeps the underground spirit alive in Atlanta.

Now celebrating 20 years, Atlanta Horror is the Georgia's longest-running horror festival. We showcase independent horror, sci-fi, and thriller films from around the world - from terrifying features to shocking shorts.

Now in its 3rd year, Atlanta Micro Short Fest proves short doesn’t mean small. Every film runs under six minutes and delivers creativity, energy, and heart in its purest form.

Now in its 2nd year,  Atlanta Experimental is the city’s most unconventional film festival - a showcase for experimental filmmakers, digital artists, and creative misfits who are redefining what short film can be through experimentation and technology.

Atlanta Spotlight has existed for 11 years and returns in person as a single-night showcase of the top short films of the season competing for major awards.

Celebrating 22 years of powerful documentary filmmaking, ATL DOC showcases stories that inform, inspire, and move audiences. We honor filmmakers who bring truth to the screen and celebrate real voices from around the world.
