AFMX: A HISTORY OF HARMONY
Founded in 2013 by AFME Board President Ivan Wiener, with the support of Robert Redford and Sibylle Szaggars-Redford, the Albuquerque Film & Music Experience (AFMX) has become a significant force in New Mexico's creative economy.
Initially conceived as the Albuquerque Film and MEDIA Experience, AFMX brought creatives together in Nob Hill. Inspired by Albuquerque’s vibrant music scene, Wiener shifted the focus from "Media" to "Music," celebrating the equal importance of film and music for twelve years. This emphasis fostered connections between industry leaders and local talent, contributing significantly to the local economy. AFMX’s dedication to quality has consistently earned it recognition as one of the top 100 best-rated festivals worldwide by FilmFreeway.
