AFMA, formerly known as the American Film Marketing Association, was established in 1980 by a
group of distributors whose main goal was to expand the independent film business by creating a
world-class trade show, the American Film Market (AFM). Today, AFMA has evolved into the trade
association for the independent film and television industry worldwide, while the AFM concurrently
has become the largest international film market in the world.

Los Angeles, CA (February 5, 2001) – Jonathan Wolf, managing director
of the American Film Market announced today the complete list of AFM
screenings. This year, over 385 titles from around the globe will screen at
the AFM, including 238 that have never before screened at a major film market.
In addition, there will be 21 films screened from this year’s Sundance Film
Festival including double award-winner Hedwig and the Angry Inch (Audience
Award-Dramatic and Directing Award) and In the Bedroom (Special Jury Prize-Dramatic).

"For the second year in a row, a vibrant and healthy independent film industry will bring
nearly 400 films to the AFM," stated Wolf. "We are thrilled that our industry remains so
robust. It does create a challenge for the AFM, however. With only 640 screening times,
almost half of the 400 films will only screen once."
