Co-directors Pat McGee and Adam Linkenhelt said the festival features well over 100 total films, from narrative and documentary features to short films.
Pat McGee and Adam Linkenhelt are festival directors for the Anchorage International Film Festival, happening Dec. 6-15 at various Anchorage locations.
Linkenhelt said they hope to create a space for everybody. That includes blocks of films dedicated to Native voices, a female filmmaker showcase and multiple Made in Alaska programs. The duo said they received a record number of submissions and ended up with well over 100 total films, from narrative and documentary features to short films.
“Porcelain War,” which earned the 2024 Sundance Festival Grand Jury Prize, is among the films playing at the museum. The documentary follows three artists who stay behind in Ukraine after the Russian invasion of that country. More films will be screened Monday, most notably “The Way We Speak,” which stars Patrick Fabian, best known for his work on “Better Call Saul.”
