Buyer Accreditation
AFM Buyer Accreditation Has Closed
The deadline for new Buyer Accreditations has passed.
Existing AFM Buyers can register here. If your company has not yet received accreditation and you wish to attend the market, visit the Attendee Registration page.
Accreditations will resume immediately following the AFM. Anyone attending this year’s market who has purchased an Executive Badge is welcome to submit an Accreditation request by January 31, 2026. If approved, you may be eligible for a rebate of the badge price difference.
Additional registration questions can be directed to the registration department at registration@ifta-online.org.
Note to AFM 2025 Attendees: If you qualify for Buyer status and had purchased a 2025 full market Executive Badge, we encourage you to submit an accreditation request by January 31, 2026. If approved, you may be eligible for a rebate of the badge price difference.
To register as a Buyer for AFM 2026, your Company must be an “AFM Accredited Film Buyer.”
Companies that were approved as an “AFM Accredited Film Buyer” between 2005 and 2025 are still approved. The company’s accreditation continues to apply to all employees who will represent the company at AFM 2026. You do not need to apply for Buyer Accreditation again.
If your Company is an AFM Accredited Film Buyer but you have not attended AFM with that Company, your name must be added to the Company listing before registering. Please send a request to add your name to the Company listing to registration@ifta-online.org.
For all other Companies, to request AFM Accredited Film Buyer approval, please complete the form below. Buyer Accreditation requests must be submitted by October 16, 2026. Requests will not be accepted after this date or during the AFM.
An AFM Buyer is a company that has licensed or sub-distributed at least three motion pictures or television programs during the last three years from members of the Independent Film & Television Alliance (IFTA). See the AFM Guidelines for more details.
Please complete the following form to determine your Buyer Eligibility. Allow 7 to 10 business days to process your request.
