Back in March, I announced that I would, for the second year in a row, be covering<\/a> the Atlanta Film Festival. And then, COVID-19 and the pandemic happened, throwing film festivals for a loop, with some cancelling all together like Cannes, and others going to virtual formats, like Fantasia Fest<\/a>, which I am currently knee deep in covering. The Atlanta Film Festival postponed until September 17-27, and I’ve been awaiting to hear word on what it would look like, with Georgia still getting hit hard with cases.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, we received that word, and it looks like the Atlanta Film Festival will be going to a hybrid virtual\/drive-in format, inspired- no doubt- by the success this summer the festival’s home theatre, the Plaza Atlanta<\/a>, has had with their pop-up drive-in format, which has been great fun to patron over the summer, as I’ve seen films like “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”<\/i><\/a>, “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”<\/i>, “A Fistful of Dollars”<\/i><\/a>, “The Goonies”<\/i><\/a>, and one of this year’s early announcements for the festival, “John Lewis: Good Trouble”<\/i><\/a>, about the late, great Civil Rights leader. As much as I’m enjoying the virtual experience of Fantasia Fest in allowing me to cover an out-of-country festival from the comfort of my own home, I cannot wait to (hopefully) experience some new movies with an audience again, even if we’re separated by our respective vehicles.<\/p>\n

When they announce the schedule, I will have more for you, including my prospective line-up of films to cover. For now, though, I hope you enjoy the deep dive into Fantasia Fest!<\/p>\n
