The American Film Market is moving its 2021 edition entirely online, the Independent Film & Television Alliance· (IFTA) announced today.
‘AFM 2021 Online’ will be held Monday, November 1 to Friday, November 5 – shifting one day earlier than its original dates.
The market will feature “Industry Offices, Screenings, Conferences, Panels and Workshops, the Networking Pavilion, LocationEXPO, and more.”
“We wish we could welcome the global industry back to Santa Monica but travel regulations, increased concerns about coronavirus variants around the world, and government restrictions on the ground prevent us from moving forward,” said Michael Ryan, Chairperson, IFTA and Partner, GFM Films. “However, IFTA is thrilled to host the market the industry expects – where no one will be excluded and all of our stakeholders can immerse themselves for five days dedicated to deal making, discovery, education, and reconnecting.”
