The Alex Kemnitzer Fund was established a decade ago in honor of ACFF’s friend, past board member and enthusiastic ambassador. This fund has made it possible for many filmmakers to attend the Festival thus building opportunities for filmmakers and audiences to interact. Please indicate if you would like your contribution to be directed to “The Alex Kemnitzer Fund” when making your generous donation.
