AFC American Film Convention, October 15-17
First-Ever American Film Convention in Los Angeles Reveals Event Details
Whether you are a Cinematographer, Director, Actor, Producer, or Distributor, there is a place for you this October: the American Film Convention in Los Angeles. “The AFC is specifically handcrafted by filmmakers for the film industry. All parts of the film industry have a place here, and filmmakers are encouraged to attend, no matter the budget or stage of production you may be in,” states the event’s website, as it prepares to make its debut in the entertainment capital of the world.
Scheduled to run from October 15-17 at Magic Box in Downtown Los Angeles—several weeks before the relocated American Film Market in Las Vegas—the convention will feature film and book auctions, both online and in-person screenings, and sessions on AI, the future of exhibition, and marketing strategies.
By day, attendees can immerse themselves in cutting-edge industry insights and workshops; by night, they can enjoy live entertainment and networking opportunities.
Among the confirmed speakers and panelists are Matthew Helderman of BondIt Capital, Evan Saxon, president and head of international distribution at Abramorama, Indie Rights president Linda Nelson, and Paradigm Consulting president Peter Broderick. Elaine Sturgess, founder of the film and television adaptation start-up BooksOffice, will host a pitch session and noted that the convention offers a “huge opportunity” for authors.
Former O.J. Simpson business manager Norman Pardo’s The O.J. Simpson Tapes has been confirmed as the first project to participate in the film auction, where filmmakers can shop projects for distribution and exhibition. The auction will invite bids on 70 hours of rare footage of the disgraced former American football star and actor, who died in April. The lot will include three completed features from Pardo: O.J.: What A Life, Wendy Williams: Keeping It Real, and O.J.: Off The Chain.
“We established the AFC to bolster the industry and explore untapped opportunities within the film sector, introducing innovative approaches to conducting film business. Our aim is not to compete with existing entities but to complement and enhance the broader industry ecosystem,” said Mitesh Patel, founder and CEO of AFC.
