Austin Revolution Film Festival (ARFF) is an annual film festival in Austin, Texas.[1]
History
James Christopher is the festival director and founder.[2] Christopher said the festival is focused on indie filmmakers who are creative without large budgets.[3] The festival made MovieMaker's "50 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee in 2018".[4] That year the festival awarded Overwood, a script by Scott Cobb, as a semi-finalist. It was later revoked after Cobb complained about the festival being heartless, promoting gun violence by branding themselves with revolvers on their laurels.[5]
In 2022, the festival held extended in person screenings of films from the 9th and 10th festival at the Crown Plaza Austin Hotel because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]
