The AFME Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that powers the Albuquerque Film + Music Experience festival (AFMX). Its mission is to create a dynamic fusion of film, music, and education where groundbreaking films, live performances, and career development panels unite to create an unforgettable cultural experience, sparking connections and inspiring creativity for generations.
OUR STORY
Launched in 2013 by Ivan Wiener—with the backing of Robert Redford and Sibylle Szaggars-Redford—AFMX now drives New Mexico’s creative economy. We bridge the gap between Hollywood pros and local talent, pumping millions into our local community. Year after year, FilmFreeway ranks us among the top 100 festivals worldwide.
We provide the tools and stages that filmmakers and musicians need to succeed. At its heart, AFMX celebrates how film and music live together—from the first note of a score to the final frame of a music video.
The festival is committed to showcasing talent, supporting professional development, teaching the business of film and music, and empowering individual artists.
Whether you choose a standard or custom package, we ensure your brand shines year-round. Choose your level today and start making a difference!
