ATLFF is going live with filmmakers slated to play at the 44th Atlanta Film Festival! Each year ATLFF has the pleasure of presenting 11 days worth of films from talented filmmakers across the globe. As a festival, we look to provide a platform where audiences can connect with a plethora of groundbreaking works. In anticipation of our 2020 festival, we are delighted to present our latest interview series!

Over the course of the upcoming weeks, ATLFF will be hosting interviews with filmmakers from our 2020 official selections moderated by Karen Ceesay. Each interview will provide you with a behind the scenes look into the upcoming festival and the films we program.

Join us Thursday, June 11th at 7 PM EST for an interview with filmmaker Aggie Bazaz as we discuss her film How to Tell a True Immigrant Story.

“A 360-degree tapestry co-created by a collective of artists and organizers, who themselves are immigrants, responding to a rise in racial profiling, ICE activity and xenophobia in a small, predominantly white community. The film places the viewer in the center of a segregated state recreating real situations with verse woven through the voice-over. Taking its truth-bending direction from Tim O’Brien’s creative nonfiction essay, “How to Tell a True War Story,” the film proceeds from a discomfort with our received truths about those of us held to the category of “immigrant,” into an investigation of ways that documentary participates in oppressive regimes, even as it promises, under guise of charity, to expose those regimes.“
