Updated February 2019 Welcome to our new project, Association of International Activist Filmmakers, for short, AIAFilmmakers! As a learned society, we plan to publish articles on topics of interest to our members, like this one from The Scholarly Kitchen. The video is provided by Vox. Read ScreenFonts movie poster reviews. Submit films, music, screenplays, photos/art and more, #CIAFF 2019, #CISFFF 2019, #CICHFF 2019.
Our new membership organization & learned society for Infinite Perimeter Films is open to activist filmmakers, musicians, writers and everyone who loves film and wishes to support the creative arts. Have a listen to recent KGNU Metro radio interviews with the lovely and talented Beverly Grant and also last year, Shareef Aleem.
AIAFilmmakers membership is and always will be free. Basic membership will never require you to enter any payment information. Advanced member features like premium content & discounted tickets, merchandise and events will eventually be made available to members as part of a selection of paid plans. Eventually, we hope to provide an entity along the lines of Denver Film Society DFS but smaller in focus and outreach. For now, we’re in open enrollment until late 2020.
Also, your donation of any amount will help us keep rolling along, so click Donate at the top right column or call/text (720) 298-1524 for more options.

Some are public, non-profit 501(c)(3) operations, others are non-commercial, not-for-profit, and/or private. They often hold annual conventions, conferences and fundraisers.

“For the past 25 years, one typeface has dominated Hollywood typography: Trajan. It’s everywhere, from Shakespearean epic classics like Titus to gory modern flicks like The Human Centipede….” Designer Yves Peters set out to answer that question.” Dig into this Type Library for ideas for your next film poster.
