American Film Market 2010

Join us for the The American Film Market 2010 (AMF), produced by the Independent Film & Television Alliance (www.ifta-online.org), on November 3-10 in Santa Monica, California.

The AMF, founded in 1981, has grown steadily to become the premiere global marketplace where Hollywood’s decision-makers and trendsetters all gather under one roof.

It is a marketplace where production and distribution deals are closed. In just eight days, more than $800 million in deals will be sealed on all from completed films to ones that haven’t started shooting yet. It is a must-attend industry event.

This is where 8,000 industry leaders converge for eight days of deal-making, screenings, seminars, red carpet premieres, networking and parties.

Participants come from more than 70 countries and include acquisition and development executives, agents, attorneys, directors, distributors, festival directors, financiers, film commissioners,  producers, writers, and the world’s press; basically, all those who provide services to the motion picture industry.

Come and watch Santa Monica transform into a place where all 23 screens on the promenade and surrounding community become screening rooms specifically for the AMF. Take this opportunity to see any of the 900 screenings of approximately 500 new films – 31 new films every 2 hours.
