________ 2008 Atlanta Film Festival
Victor Nunez, Spike Lee,
The Atlanta Film Festival is a world class event offering rich opportunities for audiences to discover new talent and experience the world's best films while enjoying Atlanta's Southern Hospitality. The region's premiere cinematic event, the Atlanta Film Festival is certified by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences(r) as an Oscar(r) qualifying festival for short narrative films. As one of the most respected and longest-running festivals in the United States, the Atlanta Film Festival is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Georgia Council for the Arts, the Fulton County Arts Council, and the City of Atlanta Bureau of Cultural Affairs. ________ The Atlanta Film Festival Screenplay Competition The Atlanta Film Festival is pleased to announce the six winners of its first Atlanta Film Festival Screenplay Competition. The six were chosen from among over 200 entries submitted. They are: Appartion by Steven Brooks (Suwanee, GA) When a young artist and her boyfriend move into an old Victorian apartment building, she sees frightening visions of dead girls and suspects something powerful within herself may be attracting them. Molewhackers by Yarrow Wayman (Tacoma, WA) The story of an alien thug with a death wish and two video arcade junkies who unwittingly help him rethink his life while trying to avoid becoming his next victims. Pentimenti by Jennifer Deaton (Los Angeles, CA) In rural Georgia, three very different people are brought together by the death of a woman each loved. The Seventh Daughter by Bret Wood (College Park, GA) In the 1920s, a washed-up carnival magician trains his young daughter to become a phony psychic. As she gains notoriety, the girl struggles to escape her father's command, only to fall prey to an ambitious scientist and wealthy clients who are equally deranged. Vera by Caitlin McCarthy (Worcester, MA) Based on the true story of Vera Laska who, as a young Catholic teen, defied statistics and lasted three years as a Czech Resistance fighter (instead of the average six months); survived Auschwitz as a political prisoner; and escaped the Nazis during a death march. Zeroes and Ones by Avi Weider (Brooklyn, NY) In creating an intelligent machine out of discarded computer parts, a young woman uncovers her grandmother's long-buried secret of her survival from Auschwitz and finds a release from her own haunting memories. These six screenwriters will be brought to Atlanta in November to participate in a screenwriting retreat with industry mentors. Read More About the Competition... ________
