“AJFF is a recognized cultural institution adored by its dedicated audience,” festival Executive Director Kenny Blank said. “We offer a surprising diversity of the highest-caliber films, an opportunity for film enthusiasts and the culturally curious to experience unforgettable and universal stories on the big screen. These are often major new releases, direct from the international festival circuit, which would otherwise not be available to Atlanta audiences.”
With the announcement of the lineup for the 2016 festival coming in mid-December, Blank talked recently about the first full year of the festival’s independence from the American Jewish Committee and what’s ahead.
