Christopher Escobar, the executive director of the Atlanta Film Festival, has been the owner of the Plaza Theatre since 2017. The festival organization is also a partner of the Plaza Theatre, with many of the films being shown on their big screen. The film festival and educational conference will take place April 21 – May 1, and Escobar joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes ahead of the festivities to talk about this year’s diverse lineup.

As one of the top 10 most competitive film festivals worldwide (out of some 4,000), the Atlanta Film Festival received nearly 10,000 submissions from filmmakers this year. Out of the festival’s 150 selections, many represent an inclusive and convention-breaking array of talent, with 74% of the films directed by filmmakers identifying as BIPOC, female or non-binary.

This year, the Atlanta Film Festival is running from April 21st through May 1st. That’s right – it’s a veritable rite of spring. And, if you can’t make it down to the ATL, fret not – this year’s festival is a hybrid event between virtual screenings and in-person screenings, so you can take it some of the festival’s selections from the privacy and comfort of your own home.

This year, the Atlanta Film Festival has 152 films on deck – 27 features and 124 shorts. This, in addition to their Creative Conference. If there’s one word that comes to mind when I think about this particular festival, it’s “variety.” There is a ton of art to consume, and through the panels of their Creative Conference, you just might learn a thing or two to boot. Brandon and I will be covering the festival virtually this year, though we can’t wait to get back down to Atlanta to do it right, in-person, again in the future.

Kabir Sehgal’s new film “Close the Loop” looks at the life and success of his father, Raghbir (R.K.) Sehgal. At the film’s opening, Kabir calls his father “the Indian Forrest Gump.” The film is based on Kabir’s best-selling book of the same name. “Close the Loop” will be screened on the Atlanta Film Festival’s opening night at the Carter Center on April 22. Both father and son joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes via Zoom to talk about R.K.’s singular life encompassing so many historical milestones and how his son went about capturing the story.
