The Atlanta International Film Festival was held in Atlanta from 1968 to 1974.[1] It was backed by the city's businessmen and organized by J. Hunter Todd, who later ran the Worldfest-Houston International Film Festival.[2] It went out of business due to financing.[2] The largest donor was in real estate, and when the city's real-estate market crashed, he went bankrupt and was unable to continue sponsoring the event.[2]
The awards for the festival were trophies, with large birds on the top and included the "Golden Phoenix award" and "Silver Phoenix award". A new film festival with the name Atlanta Film Festival replaced the defunct event in 1976.
