Attendees at the first annual Athens Film Festival in 2024.

The Athens Film Festival will come back for its second year from Thursday, August 15th to Sunday, August 18th. It promises a packed lineup, from the first-ever full-length feature produced at Athena studios on Athens’ east side to a panel on AI in the film industry.

Blaire Mars is an aspiring local filmmaker and the public relations assistant for the festival. She sat down with WUGA’s Emma Auer to discuss what festival goers can expect. Here’s that conversation.

Emma Auer is an award-winning reporter who joined WUGA as a full-time producer in 2024. She is also a graduate student in UGA's Romance Languages Department, studying French and Spanish. She covers the breadth of Northeast Georgia stories, from Athens City Hall to Winterville farmers' markets. Emma's work has also been heard on Georgia Public Broadcasting.
