The American Film Market (AFM) is moving to Las Vegas this year after taking place in the Los Angeles and Santa Monica area for four decades.
The Independent Film & Television Alliance (IFTA) and its Board of
Directors, which operates AFM, announced on Friday that the 45th edition of the market will take place from Nov. 5-10 at the Palms Casino Resort in Vegas.
The decision to move AFM to Nevada comes after a multi-city search and careful evaluation of the needs of AFM’s exhibitors and buyers.
“After extensive research, discussions with the Board and invaluable feedback from stakeholders, this move underscores our determination to evolving AFM to meet today’s industry needs,” Clay Epstein, IFTA chairperson and president of Film Mode Entertainment, said in a statement to TheWrap.
