The 2011 ATLANTA PHILOSOPHY FILM FESTIVAL will be held at the Plaza Theatre, the city's oldest continuously operating cinema, located at 1049 Ponce De Leon Avenue, Atlanta, GA 30306.


The Atlanta Philosophy Film Festival was born from a thirst for understanding of the bigger questions in life and the love of the Classic Cinema which traditionally offers more questions than answers about the human condition. We truly believe there is an audience for the thinking cinema, so we gear our festival not only to film and philosophy enthusiasts, but also to anyone who has the ability to envision Cinema as a viable medium for philosophical exploration and discussion.


Screening Group A - Tuesday, October 18th at 9:30 p.m.
Screening Group B - Wednesday, October 19th at 7:30 p.m.
All shows are FREE to the public.
