FESTIVAL SCHEDULE
AFMX was proud to welcome over 130,000 viewers through our 2020 and 2021 Virtual Edition festivals. This year, we are excited to celebrate our 10th anniversary as one of the leading NM film festivals with our Hybrid Festival, September 13-18, 2022.
We anticipate our Hybrid Festival to include a wide variety of short and feature narrative and documentary films, music, and animated videos from around the world. In addition, we will present our popular Center Stage Conversations as well as Master Classes, and our first Pitch Panel.
Whether you are a movie buff, a fan of music, poetry, art, photography, or dance, you are at the center of AFMX’s program with specially selected films and events that will touch the human spirit. Our attendees and participants are a major part of our mission that brings together A-list talent with high school and college students, filmmakers, musicians, local businesses, and the entire City of Albuquerque to provide educational opportunities, scholarships, and social and economic impact.
We are excited to gather filmmakers, musicians, and artists together to share stories throughout an incredible week, from September 13-18, 2022. All of our screenings are available online through November 18, 2022.
