Georgia Film Critics Association
The Georgia Film Critics Association (GAFCA) was created in 2011 with the intention to promote film criticism and the film industry within the state of Georgia. While critics groups are prevalent in many parts of the country, the GAFCA is the first of its kind to be based solely in the state of Georgia. GAFCA membership is open to members of the reviewing press—whether through online, radio, television or print media.
