The Austin Film Festival has put out a call for creative artists to submit their work for screenplay, teleplay, and film competitions for the upcoming Festival slated for October 22 - 29th (2009).
The Austin Film Festival's mission is to further the art, craft, and business of screenwriting and filmmaking by providing unique year-round cultural events and services, enhancing public awareness and participation, and encouraging dynamic and long-lasting community partnerships.
Founded in 1994, the Austin Film Festival (AFF) was the first organization of its kind to focus on the writers’ creative contribution to film.
AFF originally consisted of the prestigious "Heart of Film" screenwriters conference (a forum for craft development, inspiration, and the networking and launching of careers created for screenwriters) which was historically under-represented.
AFF has since grown to serve filmmakers and all of Austin’s arts community.
Today, the festival encompasses a wealth of year-round programming dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the art and impact of storytelling.
