TINAFF: Program 6 — Local Bay Area Film Showcase @ ATA

This is Not a Film Festival (also know as TINAFF) is a monthly recurring film showcase, allowing local Bay Area filmmakers, artists and creatives to gather, connect, and present their work. No submission fees, no awards, no gatekeeping. Our goal is to provide a space where truly independent films can be shared and enjoyed the way they’re meant to be; with a live audience.
