ADFF is looking forward to getting back to our in-person events this fall. We are encouraged by the daily good news about the reduced risks of the virus and the opening of more public events. The films being submitted for this year look fantastic and promise to make for great festivals. We’ve already secured an important and outstanding film for opening night that will be announced next month. Stay tuned!.
