Read MoreThe 38th Annual Atlanta Film Festival will open with "Joe," starring Nicolas Cage as an ex-con and unlikely role model who meets a 15-year-old boy (Tye Sheridan) and is faced with the choice of redemption or ruin. Director David Gordon Green ("Pineapple Express," television's "Eastbound & Down") is scheduled to attend. Closing out this year’s fest is "The Double," a stylish black comedy starring Jesse Eisenberg and Mia Wasikowska.

Rebellion: Creating a New Black Cinema Tour is a historic collection of films made by African and African American students at the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television in the late 1960s, after a decade of rising racial tensions. These films represent their efforts to respond to the political turmoil of their time with an imaginative and entirely independent cinema.
Atlanta will be the last city to host “L.A. Rebellion: Creating a New Black Cinema,” a Tour of these groundbreaking films, over four weekends (from October 25th to November 24). Several filmmakers, including pioneer Haile Gerima, and two of the Tour curators will be attending and interacting with the public.
