There are film festivals happening all over the world on any given weekend, but only a handful that hail from the home of the movies themselves. Starting on November 4 the AFI Festival brings the festival atmosphere home to Los Angeles, presenting 97 films over the course of the weeklong event. In addition to presenting buzzed-about, Oscar-bound films like Rabbit Hole, The King's Speech and Black Swan, the festival also boasts Guest Artistic Director David Lynch, who selected five films for a special category of their own.
We'll be covering the AFI Fest for the first time ever, with Eric Eisenberg on the ground in Los Angeles, but you also have the chance to experience the festival for yourself. We're giving away two AFI Fest Cinepass badges, which give you and a guest access to all regular screenings and panels, plus entrance to the Cinema Lounge at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Check out the full AFI Festival lineup here to see all the screenings and events.
