AthFest is more than just a local music festival; it’s a celebration of the arts community as a whole. FilmFest highlights locally produced movies and music documentary films through a series of screenings and talks with guest filmmakers. Opening night kicks off with Alan Flurry’s documentary, Art Rosenbaum: Mural in Progress, featuring a catered reception, post-film discussion and a live performance from acclaimed local musician, artist and educator Art Rosenbaum. A special tribute to rock documentary The Muscle Shoals Sound includes a catered brunch reception and performances by father and son musicians, David Hood and Patterson Hood. This year’s featured films include Basically Frightened, Georgia Guidestones, Mayan Blue and A Plague So Pleasant. Other special events include a Teenscreen Spotlight, the Georgia Doc Block (a series of short Georgia-focused documentaries), the Sprockets Local Showcase and a handful of other short films.
