AFI FEST 2022 takes place November 2-6, 2022, in Los Angeles and features groundbreaking stories from a wide array of dynamic and diverse artists. Many of these artists hail from the AFI Conservatory – and we are so proud to be able to showcase their new and cutting-edge work.
This year’s AFI Alumni projects are featured in a variety of sections, ranging from Red Carpet Premieres and Special Screenings to Discovery and Documentary. The AFI Conservatory Showcase also provides an important platform for short fiction films from AFI’s most recent graduates.
