Films
have been often
characterized as being essays on the human condition. In an essay, one
should gather insights about the philosophy that guides the questions
and attitudes of the work. Films should be no different. Film is
Philosophy expressed through the medium of image- realized through
light and sound. Presented and structured in such a way as to foster
debate in the public and private forum.
The Atlanta Philosophy Film
Festival welcomes all those films using the image median to question
how we think and how we interact with the world. Films that question
what it is to exist. What it is to know. What it is to love. What it
means to be ethical and objective. What it is to experience. What it is
to…
We
welcome films aware of
their role as provocateur in a world where answers are more readily
available than questions. Films that use dialogue, story, image, style,
tone and theme to confront our universal values and confront how we
understand our experiences. Films that use ideas as a laboratory to
explore the human condition.
We welcome films, that both
style and content, embark on the difficult and rewarding journey
towards knowledge and better understanding. Our festival is proud to
exhibit the Cinema of Philosophy.
