Inspired Industry Sessions
The AFF is dedicated to the professional development and promotion of a strong cultural industry in its entirety and to that end have developed the exciting Inspired Industry Sessions that occur during the Festival.
Inspired Script is a competitive opportunity for Atlantic Canadian writers to submit, develop and pitch script ideas to potential producers, with the winner receiving funding to turn their idea into a film.
Our Inspired Doc program screens the best documentary films and invites these filmmakers to attend the screenings for a facilitated Q&A session with the audience, offering an exciting insight into their vision and approach to these films.
Inspired Music is a program of music films, master classes, panels, keynotes, and innovative projects like 10 X 10 where 10 filmmakers pair up with 10 artists to create 10 music videos in a four-day period. The AFF’s music program also encompasses Music & Image, a partnership between the AFFA and the East Coast Music Association. M&I is dedicated to the professional development and promotion of East Coast music, and designed to bridge the gap between music and film through professional development sessions, one-on-one meetings between artists and music supervisors and exciting showcase performances. Music & Image is active throughout the year, both in Canada and the United States, attending events and monitoring industry activity.
