Since its inception in 2000, the Lake Placid Film Forum has been the Adirondack North Country’s premier film event. It’s one place in the region where resident and visitor filmgoers and movie buffs can count on seeing films they’re not likely to encounter at the local multiplex—and meet filmmakers in an up-close and personal setting. The Adirondack Film Society (AFS)—the people who bring you the Lake Placid Film Forum—doesn’t just screen films: it curates, analyzes, and seeks to help educate audience members about the films it presents.
