Every November, the global film industry converges at the American Film Market.
AFM is the premier film acquisition, development, and networking event, where hundreds of millions of dollars in distribution and financing deals are closed each year across completed films and projects at every stage of development. More business-focused than any other motion picture event, thousands of professionals from across the industry come together at AFM to develop, finance, showcase, discover, and license the newest independent films and projects for audiences worldwide.
At AFM, participants can also attend The AFM Sessions — a dynamic conference program of 30+ conversations delivering practical insights from the executives, creators, and dealmakers shaping today’s business. Alongside the Sessions, dedicated programs include LocationEXPO®, connecting filmmakers with film commissions, production service companies, and global partners, as well as the Innovation Hub, spotlighting emerging AI and technology companies and platforms.
AFM is the only sales market produced by Independents, for the industry.
Connect with the independent film community’s decision-makers all in one place.
