Its
official, I am going to be at this year’s AFM
(November 1-8 2006). A good year to go as the AFM will open with a
record of 589 films on this round, a 10% increase over last year’s
slate, including 384 Market premieres (which is also a record).
Furthermore, a record of 54 films are Official Selections at the AFI FEST
and will be showcased at the AFM as well.
To keep tabs
on all this, check out their new website,
www.afmfilms.org which hosts the AFM
Catalogue of Films. And that’s not all! To take matters further the AFM
is presently working with Google Video to host trailers.With this new
option, exhibitors at the AFM will be able to upload and manage an unlimited
number of trailers that Google Video would syndicate to the AFM website.
Some of the
films playing this year will be Hatchet
with Robert Englund,
Masters of
Horror 2: Family
with George Wendt and
The Tripper
with Paul Reubens and Balthazar Getty. To check out the full film listings hit
