Now, you don\u2019t even have to be in Atlanta because you can watch movies from the comfort and convenience of home via a Virtual Cinema. For those in Atlanta, audiences can also enjoy three nights of drive-in movies at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and The Home Depot Backyard. In addition, there will be in-depth and expanded Q&amp;A conversations, a \u201cVirtual Lobby\u201d to connect with other moviegoers, a curated and custom \u201cFestival-In-A-Box\u201d for Opening Night ticket holders, along with other special experiences.<\/span><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><br \/>\n<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0This year\u2019s line-up includes 38 feature and 16 short films \u2014 including three world premieres, eight North American premieres, three U.S. premieres and one world premiere local film. These films were selected from more than 500 films submitted for consideration. The film selection covers a range of genres, with everything from introspective biographies like <i>Howie Mandel: But, Enough About Me<\/i>; topical themes like <i>On Broadway <\/i>or <i>Atlanta: The City Too Busy to Wait<\/i>; side-splitting comedies like <i>Shiva Baby<\/i>; LGBTQ+ stories like <i>Kiss Me Kosher; <\/i>powerful dramas such as <i>Asia.<br \/>\n<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/i>For a full 12 days, AJFF\u2019s diverse lineup of narrative and documentary shorts and features are accessible to viewers from the comfort of home. Powered by CineSend, AJFF\u2019s Virtual Cinema will allow audiences to access the best in Jewish cinema from a smart TV, home theater, tablet, or mobile device. \u00a0Requiring only a single ticket per film for each household, viewers will have a flexible 48-hour window to watch festival films at their convenience. Each film has a limited capacity of views, so audiences are encouraged to purchase their tickets in advance. General admission for virtual screenings is $16\/household ($14 early bird pricing), and for special events, which include Opening and Closing Night, admission is $36\/household.<br \/>\n<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Other virtual experiences include expanded Q&amp;A offerings featuring filmmakers, actors and experts.
