Atlanta International Film Festival

The Atlanta International Film Festival was held in Atlanta from 1968 to 1974.[1] It was backed by the city's businessmen and organized by J. Hunter Todd, who later ran the Worldfest-Houston International Film Festival.[2] It went out of business due to financing.[2] The largest donor was in real estate, and when the city's real-estate market crashed, he went bankrupt and was unable to continue sponsoring the event.[2]

The awards for the festival were trophies, with large birds on the top and included the "Golden Phoenix award" and "Silver Phoenix award". A new film festival with the name Atlanta Film Festival replaced the defunct event in 1976.

Award recipients
gollark: I might be wiser in a few ways, but mostly I would have advanced future knowledge™.
gollark: I would then use this to subtly influence future (past) events I don't like, such as "brexit".
gollark: I could just attain money via ??? child things, spend it on some bitcoins (or even *mine* it, since it took a while for people to catch onto GPUs then ASICs) and then have 19024719827490 capital.
gollark: I have vague knowledge of deep learning things which are really recent and would probably substantially accelerate progress if brought to the past somehow. More importantly, though, I would simply buy bitcoin.
gollark: Anyway, if *I* were magically sent back in time I could do better.
