The AFME Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that powers the Albuquerque Film + Music Experience festival (AFMX).

OUR STORY
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, Ivan 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.
Under the leadership of Executive Director Kira Sipler, the AFME Foundation is expanding its reach, providing valuable resources and opportunities to both aspiring and established filmmakers and musicians. AFMX continues to champion the symbiotic relationship between film and music, recognizing their intertwined nature in various forms, from film scoring and music videos to screenplays and songwriting.
The festival is committed to showcasing talent, supporting professional development, teaching the business of film and music, and empowering individual artists. Immediate contributions can be made at afmxnm.com/donate
