Often imitated, but never equaled, Kodak CONNECT is back at AFI FEST for its seventh straight year. The Kodak CONNECT program provides AFI FEST filmmakers with access to leading professionals from every corner of the film community through a series of scheduled, one-on-one meetings, as well as more informal lunches, breakfasts and cocktail hours. These film professionals offer AFI FEST filmmakers fresh insight and expert advice; Kodak CONNECT has marked the beginning of numerous long-term relationships and careers. Due to our Los Angeles setting, AFI FEST is in a unique position to offer the opportunities provided by the Kodak CONNECT program and we strongly suggest that all of our filmmakers consider taking part.

In 2006, over 100 film professionals came to AFI FEST to participate in the Kodak CONNECT Program. Every facet of Los Angeles' unmatched entertainment industry was represented, including the top production, distribution, finance and development companies, along with the major talent agencies and management firms. Kodak CONNECT is a perfect setting for film professionals to meet with the rising stars of the international film scene represented in the AFI FEST program.
