Atlanta Film Society presents Airport Shorts

Hartsfield Jackson Airport Art Program

The Airport Art Program develops and integrates art, exhibits and performances into the fabric of the Airport environment for the benefit of passengers and employees. The Program has three major components: commissioning artists to create site specific artwork, presenting rotating exhibitions, and scheduling performing arts series. Each part of the program strives to meet the Department of Aviation's goal of becoming the world's best airport by exceeding customer expectations.

Since 2012, The Atlanta Film Society has partnered with the Airport Art Program to present AIRPORT SHORTS: a showcase of short films presented on nearly 30 screens throughout the Maynard H. Jackson Jr. International Terminal. Previous editions of AIRPORT SHORTS have been curated and commissioned, screening 365 days a year for audiences of up over 14 million travelers in the International Terminal. 

For the 5th edition, AIRPORT SHORTS will see new life featured on the CNN Channel, viewable on over 500 screens throughout the entire Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, with a potential audience of over 100 million travelers each year. AIRPORT SHORTS will be featured on the channel once every hour, and we are seeking 11 short films to debut on the channel in 2020.

This project is open to filmmakers located both in the US and internationally, but special consideration will be given to Georgia based filmmakers and filmmakers from the American South.
